Summer is still in glorious season, but when you run a business you have to stay ahead of the changes… Which are coming quickly. In fact, Fall is just around the corner. When I think of Fall, I think of several things, but Pumpkins đ Maybe #1! This throwback pic from several years ago brings back nothing but good memories… And a peak into our not to distant future đ
This picture of my son and I is repeated every Fall and Iâm looking forward to it đ
Yâall have a great #Throwbackthursday evening!

Does the changing of the seasons change your entire world? If it does, you may be in a seasonal business… Or, you may just be a gardener đŞ´
What a beautiful Sunday morning! A dense fog burned off into a gorgeous Sunny day! I for one wonât be wasting time inside watching TV đş
My âSeasonal Sunday Officeâ is feeling pretty good đ
“An altered look about the hills;
A Tyrian light the village fills;
A wider sunrise in the dawn;
A deeper twilight on the lawn;
A print of a vermilion foot;
A purple finger on the slope;
A flippant fly upon the pane;
A spider at his trade again;
An added strut in chanticleer;
A flower expected everywhere …”
~Â Emily Dickinson, Nature : April
Have a happy day!

Having a Waterfall Feature in your backyard truly gives you 4 seasons of interest. Each season brings its own magic đŞ late yesterday evening this little video was taken of my own personal Waterfall. I LOVE every season, but the ice sculptures of Winter âď¸ are just plain Magical!
I hope this video brought a little Zen to your morning!đ
Have a great day! Stay warm!

What a beautiful Sunday morning! Cool and crisp! Warming today, but several days of rain ahead… Ahhh, but itâs March! Springtime is only inches away đ I can feel it!
Last weeks bud is this weeks early flower. Spring is almost here!
The First Of MarchÂ
“The sun is brilliant in the sky but its warmth does not reach my face.
The breeze stirs the trees but leaves my hair unmoved.
The cooling rain will feed the grass but will not slake my thirst.
It is all inches away but further from me than my dreams.”
~ M. Romeo LaFlamme
Have a Great Sunday!

The color is really changing in the landscape now. The Maples and Dogwoods are at peak. I try to keep my eye on the changing colors every Fall. Itâs such a beautiful time of the year đ But, blink and youâll miss something. You just gotta get out there to enjoy it đ
Fall color is here today, gone tomorrow… Get out and see it now đ
âIn the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.â
~ Rose G. Kingsley
Have a Happy Day!

Weâve been talking a lot about fall color around the nursery, on the radio and on this blog. Have you been getting out to see it and experience it… I hope you have been and are still doing just that! đ Hereâs the color map –

I have had SO MANY questions the last couple of weeks about my favorite trees to plant for Fall color and what I would recommend to plant in peopleâs Landscapes. So here is a short list of some of my favorite trees that do well here in West Tennessee.
Mark’s Top Ten Trees for Fall Color –
- Â Red Maple –Â Acer rubrumÂ
One of our best trees for Fall Color.
- Sugar Maple –Â Â Acer saccharumÂ
Wonderful Color + the BEST Syrup everđ
- Balled Cypress –Â Taxodium distichumÂ
Such a unique tree! Bald Cypress are very underutilized for their seasonal interest. They are such a beautiful tree. Interesting fact : The Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer.
- Dogwoods –Â Cornus floridaÂ
Everyone thinks of spring with the Dogwood tree blossoms, BUT – They are beautiful in the fall with their red tinged leaves and shiny red seeds.
- Sassafrass –Â Sassafras albidumÂ
One of my favorite trees for several reasons! But the biggie is the breathtaking Fall Color! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
- Ginko –Â Ginkgo bilobaÂ
A “Living Fossil” – This unique tree âWOW’Sâ in  the Fall!
- Crepe Myrtle –Â Â LagerstroemiaÂ
Not only does this ornamental tree bring outstanding Spring & Summer interest, they also bring eye popping color every Fall!
- Black Gum –Â Â Nyssa sylvaticaÂ
The Black Gum or Tupelo Gum tree is one of my favorite natives!
- White Oak –Â Quercus albaÂ
Big native shade tree with striking, deep crimson/red Fall color.
- Sourwood –Â Oxydendrum arboreumÂ
A very unique native tree, really shows out in the Fall!
