Texas AgriLife Extension Service’s Concho Valley Master Gardeners Association is hosting “Water-Wise Landscaping,” at 7 p.m., June 10 at the Tom Green County 4-H Center, 3168 N. U.S. Hwy. 67.

Kay Thompson, Master Gardener program coordinator, said the workshop should put to rest some popular misconceptions about low-water-use plants.

“We hesitated to call this a Xeriscape workshop, because many people have a picture in their minds of rock and cactus when they see that title,” said Thompson. “That’s the image we are trying to steer away from.

“This workshop will teach homeowners how to have the lush landscape they’ve always dreamed of–one that will not only look good, but perform the way they want it to.”

Thompson said once such a landscape is installed, immediate results will include reduced irrigation and lower water bills, less maintenance and a tougher, higher quality landscape that is adapted to West Texas weather conditions.

There is no charge for the workshop, but organizers ask that participants call the AgriLife Extension office in Tom Green County at 325-659-6528 by June 6, so enough printed material can be made available.

New cycle/pedestrian lanes have been built into the new roundabout, which continue on to the Tweed St overbridge.
The Tweed St overbridge and the intersection of Tweed and Liddel streets has also been changed to allow cyclists/pedestrians a safe passage, and traffic can no longer drive through the intersection across Tweed St.
Denise Corson, co-owner of Rex Corson Panel %26amp; Paint, said she had seen motorists hitting signs, driving on the wrong side of the road, and looking confused as they approached the intersection.
Mrs Corson had several concerns with the changes that had been made. %26quot;Its quite a kerfuffle.
… I prefer it the way it was.%26quot; It affected people entering her business and it was difficult to get into the main stream of traffic when leaving the panel shop.
It was also awkward manoeuvering the companys tow truck into the new slip-lane to turn right on to Liddel St because the lane was narrow.
Mrs Corson objected to cutting the overbridge in half to make a cycle lane and making the footpath beside her business a cycle-pedestrian lane.
%26quot;Couldnt the cyclists come under the bridge?%26quot; she asked.
Drivers appeared to be confused by the changes, she said.
Invercargill City Council roading manager Tom Greenwood said the only serious incident he was aware of was some one entering the slip-lane to turn on to Liddel St and, instead of turning, continuing over the overbridge on the wrong side of the road despite it being an obvious right-turn.
%26quot;That really worried me and were looking at putting extra signage up to stop that.%26quot; Apart from that %26quot;weird%26quot; case, Mr Greenwood said it was natural some motorists would be confused.
%26quot;When you get something thats new … people automatically try and do what they were doing previously.%26quot; He acknowledged that the road still lacked proper lane markings.
%26quot;It does need it urgently to get rid of that confusion.%26quot; Studies had proved the slip-lane was wide enough for articulated vehicles to turn into Liddel St with ease, he said.
