Vern said he\u2019d stop by some time and take a look. It was all but forgotten, and then one day he comes in and says, \u201cI\u2019m here to take a look at your waterfall\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It was a little embarrassing, really. With no budget for a gardener and it\u2019s care low on staff priorities, the patio was overgrown and matted with a layer last fall\u2019s leaves. Vern poked around a bit and said he\u2019d come back when he had some time. Honestly, we didn\u2019t expect to see him again, but low and behold he did indeed return with two of his team.<\/p>\n<p>They worked to reveal what had been concealed for over 30 years, filling about ten lawn and leaf bags full of debris and digging down to discover what, if any, of the old plumbing remained.<\/p>\n<p>With much skill, determination, passion, creativity, and thrift, the waterfall was restored and running in a few days. We are awed and so appreciative of Verne\u2019s gift to us of this restored respite right in our own back yard.<\/p>\n<p>Verne Pershing, The Art of Water 530-644-2000 \u2022 www.cowboygardener.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>The El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce &#8211; Voice of Business Website 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Ayo1kZZhZb\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/eldoradocounty.org\/voice-of-business\/voice-of-business-2025\/\">Voice of Business 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Voice of Business 2025&#8221; &#8212; El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce\" src=\"https:\/\/eldoradocounty.org\/voice-of-business\/voice-of-business-2025\/embed\/#?secret=mjCmlNDf49#?secret=Ayo1kZZhZb\" data-secret=\"Ayo1kZZhZb\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Direct link to April 2025 article: (pdf)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eldoradocounty.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/APRIL_VOB-final.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignleft wp-image-7891 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-200x200.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27200%27%20height%3D%27200%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20200%20200%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27200%27%20height%3D%27200%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf.jpg 980w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[112],"tags":[114,115,113],"class_list":["post-7887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-water-feature-news","tag-el-dorado-county-chamber-of-commerce","tag-the-art-of-water","tag-voice-of-business"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7887"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7894,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7887\/revisions\/7894"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cowboygardener.com\/water-features-northern-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
