An upcoming workshop will teach West Texas residents how to have healthy, drought-resistant landscapes.
Curious how you can have a healthy landscape in West Texas, a land besieged by drought and heat? Well, the Agrilife Extension Service wants to help. They’re holding a Landscape Drought Management Workshop on June 23. Speaking will be Dr. Dotty Woodson, AgriLife Extension water resources specialist at Dallas.
“The purpose of this program is to help homeowners develop a healthy, beautiful landscape that won’t wither under our blistering summer heat and limited water,” Allison Watkins, AgriLife Extension horticulture agent in Tom Green County, said in a release. “We’ll demonstrate ways to keep a landscape healthy in heat and drought without wasting water.”
The workshop will be held from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. June 23 at the Tom Green 4-H Center, located at 3168 North U.S. Highway 67, San Angelo.
