Water Conservation Class: “How to help your landscape survive a Texas summer”
| Tuesday, Apr. 30, 2013
First of all, use the water that is available wisely. Don’t use a system where water evaporates before it can reach your lawn and plants. Slowly applied deep watering will encourage your plants to put deeper roots down. Deeper roots will not be as affected by extended periods of hot dry summer heat that bakes the surface. Use mulch in flower beds to help control water evaporation and regulate soil temperature. Do not water in the heat of the day between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Use a watering system that is plant specific and don’t water in areas that don’t need it. Use plants that require less water but offer an attractive landscape. There are many plants that will satisfy this requirement. Capture as much of the rain that falls on your property as possible, reducing run off, and then use that water in your own landscape when needed.

A lot can be said of the word vintage.
More often than not, it conjures up the imagery of something valuable. To the late and beloved Jack Borden, he saw something valuable. Only instead of a rare coin or an antique automobile, it was something much more. It was a building and not just any building, but a church - his church - which has been standing for more than 157 years and at virtually the same location.
