The month of November is quickly advancing, 2 weeks from tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day! But today is my buffer from the quick passage of time! Today is Waterfall Wednesday!
This is a unique viewpoint of a very cool Water Feature! This is a picture right after it was first turned on! The deck you see in the distance is right off the house – From that viewpoint your overlooking the Pond. You can sit on the edge and put your feet in the water 😊 Pretty nice 👍🏻 But there are many viewpoints and each one reveals something special. The view you are enjoying here is from the lower portion of the feature. The Pond overflows into a stream that flows under a Bridge & into this lower chamber, which is really a hidden pump chamber and water holding area. This is a brand New Custom Water Feature! And I Love it!
This is my offering for #Waterfallwednesday!
Have a great day!

Good Morning 🌞 Turn around and another week has passed… It’s Waterfall Wednesday!
Today I was looking at all the leaves 🍁 on the ground and blown into piles around the place… It gives me a melancholy feeling… But, it always does, and I know it’s just part of the changing of seasons. So I try to find beauty in the leaves, and I guarantee you one thing… My Waterfall helps! Check out this short reel featuring my leaf strewn Waterfall and the voice of an angel, Eva Cassidy…
#Waterfallwednesday is here! The weekend is coming! Enjoy this day!

What a beautiful crisp Morning! It’s Monday and time to tackle another week. Like most mornings, I started my day out by my Pond. I don’t know what I would do without my little piece of paradise ❤️ Check out this short video. This one will really take you to a place of Zen!
Enjoy this day! 🙏🏻 There won’t be another exactly like it 😊

The sound of a Waterfall is soothing to the senses… So is the sound of the rain. Put them both together and you have the ultimate sound and a true place of Zen… Listen to this.
I always try to share a Waterfall on Monday morning, there is nothing better to get you centered and ready to face the week ahead.
Have a Great one!

No matter what time I get up or what time I get home, my Pond is waiting for me. My Koi are always hungry and wanting to feed. And my mind always needs a calming place of Zen…
It’s time to start another week… I’m ready!
Have a great week!

Good morning! So it’s Tuesday & I was thinking of that “Two for Tuesday” thing that’s so popular… And I thought 💭 2 separate things? Or 2 things together? Huh 🤔 So, here’s my take.
2 beautiful sets of twin Waterfalls that we have designed and built over the years.
So what do you think? Two for Two for Tuesday! 💥
Have a great day!

I have been operating Carters Nursery Pond & Patio since 1989. I’ve set up countless Garden Shows and hosted hundreds of Pond related workshops (pond builds, design classes, waterfall building, pond maintenance, koi health, etc etc)… I own & operate a 7 acre Garden Center and Aquatic Nursery with running eco-system ponds and a full Koi facility. My goal all these years has been to show Pond Enthusiasts a better way. But, that doesn’t mean I can rest on my laurels… Just Yesterday, I had a great conversation with a walk in customer that lives within 5 miles of my Nursery and has been a pond enthusiast for over 15 years! And guess what… He didn’t know that I was here and he didn’t know what a Pond Skimmer would do for him 😮 Sooooo, needless to say I spent some time with him and gave him the full .10 cent tour of my place! He was blown away and left with a skimmer of his own and a mission to install it himself 💥
So the question remains for many Pond owners –
Q- Does My Koi Pond &/or Water Garden Need A Skimmer?
The answer is YES! Most Definitely…
The simple function of the Skimmer is to help collect surface debris from your Pond. BUT, that’s not all it does for you. A good Skimmer also –
- Houses, hides and pre-filters your Pond Pump! No more clogged pumps! 💥
- By collecting debris before it collects on the pond bottom it Greatly Improves Water Quality!
- A Skimmer also greatly increases dissolved oxygen in your Pond Water! Making a much healthier Pond and much happier Koi!
- A Skimmer does most of the physical work for you, giving you more time to relax 😊
IF you are a Pond guy or gal and don’t have a Pond Skimmer, I am here to help! Drop by and I will show you the light 💡 or give me a call 1-731-424-2206 and I will come to you!
Thanks! & Happy Pondering!

I’m coming off an anniversary weekend and my lovely wife of 29 years got me a new underwater camera! That might not sound exciting to you, but to me it was an Awesome gift! I spent last night shooting underwater videos of my Ponds 😊 WOW! Looking up at the ”Other side” of the surface is really cool… And very Zen as well! Watch this short video and let me know what you think.
Did I mention that this was my 1st. video with my new camera? Wow! I love this thing…
Take a minute and find that place of Zen for yourself! it will set the tone for the whole week.
Have a Great Monday!
