More Complete Information on the North Texas Water Symposium

Fred Hall sent me the agenda/registration for the North Texas Water Symposium so I wanted to share it with all of you.


Texoma Living Well With Less Water 2011
October 1
MPEC
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

Michael Parkey, landscape architect, Drought Tolerant Native Plants for North Texas
Kevin Gustavson, OCC/WQ, Water Conservation with Xeriscapes and Rain Gardens

I think we all recognize the importance of conserving water in our gardens and landscapes--this should be an interesting workshop.

If you are interested, you can contact the county extension office or a member of the local Texas Master Gardeners for a registration form or you can email me at green.wichitafalls@gmail.com. I hope there is a large turnout for this event.

River Bend Program on Xeriscapes is Tonight!

The next in a series of programs relating to water will be tonight at River Bend Nature Center. Paul Dowlearn, from Wichita Valley Landscaping will be presenting a program on Xeriscaping. Be there at 7:00 PM. Members of River Bend may attend for free; non-members pay $3.

Another Great Program At River Bend Coming!

I try to attend the majority of the adult education programs at River Bend but missed the one Monday by Daniel Nix. Just ran out of gas before 7 PM. But I am going to rest up to attend Paul Dowlearn's program on March 1 on Xeriscaping.

If you've been to River Bend you know what a beautiful job Paul Dowlearn and his crew did there.

Hope to see you there!
