We were making the rounds last evening, right before dark. Feeding Koi and enjoying the Gardens, when the light sprinkles started āļø We finally got in the golf cart to ride up to the house and I stopped for one last look š So I made a little video as the rain really got started… Check it out. Talk about relaxing and a feeling of Zenā¦
There is nothing like the sound of a Waterfall! Except maybe the sound and, smell of the rain. I believe the word for the smell of fresh rain on the garden soil is called āPetrichorāā¦
āPetrichor : the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek petra (ĻĪĻĻĪ±), “rock”, or petros (ĻĪĻĻĪæĻ), “stone”, and Ä«chÅr (į¼°ĻĻĻ), the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.ā
Combine those two things and ā¦ š§ Zen
Enjoy your day! š

I always tell people that when you get your own Pond & Waterfall, that you really get 2 Ponds. You get the daytime feature with flowers and crystal clear water, glinting and reflecting the sun š So beautiful! But you also get the Nighttime Pond! And man oh man! š Hereās a quick video of my āNighttime Pondā… It will be featured in our upcoming Moonlight Pond Tour š in September. I hope to see you there!
This is such a beautiful evening! Iām going to sit out here for a while and just breathe…
Have a great evening š

Good Morning! š The weekend is behind us and new challenges are on the horizon… If you are focused and mentally prepared, you can meet any challenge head on. My Waterfalls and Koi help me find that place of focus, that place of Zen. Check out the short clip of my Waterfall and fish from last night šš»
The waterfall sounds, the frogs šø and the Koi make for quite the show. Itās a show I watch everyday š I hope this clip shows you what Iām talking about.
Have a blessed Monday!

Here we are in June! And itās already #waterfallwednesday š I recently went by a clients home who had built their own Pond and Waterfall many years ago. They really enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and just LOVE their Pond! ā¤ļø Overtime, the plants and trees have grown and pushed on the skimmer and the liner and they told me āitās been over 15 years since we put this Pond in and itās time for some maintenance & repairs, plus – we want a new look with the stream and waterfallā…
After we removed the old skimmer, trimmed roots, etc… We replaced the old skimmer with a new unit and then moved on to redoing the stream and falls.
We brought in some larger stone, much of it was Moss stone to have that immediate effect of age and we also added lights š„ Now they have 2 Ponds… The daytime feature that they already love and now feature #2 – the new nighttime Pond!
Everyone is happy with the final results. š„ Boom A win win! Always a great project! And Waterfall Wednesday, is always a great day!
Hereās to #waterfallwednesday !

Thereās nothing like the first evening in late Winter or Early Spring when you hear the peepers waking up. Their sound fills the air and you know Spring is almost here. Once āSpring has Sprungā that nighttime sound only gets deeper and more intense… Especially when you have a Pond in your Landscape. I literally fell asleep last night sitting by my Pond š“
So I made a short video recording of the āSound of the Seasonā in my yard. Take a listen š§
I sure do enjoy the āNightlifeā š
Have a good day and even better night!

Yesterday was so nice. I was outside most of the day, watched the sunset and then made this short little video of my Pond and Waterfall.
Spring is finally here š And I love it! I hope this little clip somehow conveys the feeling of Zen that I get sitting out by my Pond.
Have a Great week!

6 Things Koi Keepers Always Do In Their Ponds | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
1- Koi Keepers always keep a Debris Net handy! Murphyās Law applies to your Pond! IF it can get in your Pond, it eventually will… So having a sturdy Debris Net handy, is a must!
2- Koi Keepers always add Beneficial Bacteria to their Ponds. It does a great job of helping you keep the water clean and healthy with minimal effort.
3- Koi Keepers always keep an eye on Aquatic Plant growth. They have learned that spending just a few minutes a week touching up their plants, makes them perform beautifully throughout the season!
4- Koi Keepers feed their āFinned Friendsā top quality Koi Food! TheyĀ make sure that their Koi Food is highĀ quality and doesnāt have corn š½ in the top 3 ingredients.Ā
5- Koi Keepers keep their Ponds clean! Spring and Fall Pond Maintenance is a MUST! They always start the Spring season with a comprehensive Pond Cleaning. Then they follow up with partial water changes as needed and Fall Pond Netting.
6- Koi Keepers spend quality time out by theirĀ Ponds with friends, family and of course, their Koi!Ā They have learned that the Greatest Thing About Having A Pond, is spending time around it. They have learned that āA Pond will change your life!ā
Thanks! Have a wonderful day š

The beauty of a Garden šŖ“ in the Spring and Summer is a given. But this evening as I was walking up the hill I just happened to look up and Boom š„ The moon š the bare birch trees, the lights and the sound of the Waterfalls… Even on a night in January, I had to stop and enjoy the beauty. Now, Iām thinking a fire š„ is in order …
Have a great evening!
