The building is located near the center of the St. Edward’s
campus, adjacent to the bookstore. Parking is free and will be clearly
marked.
“The workshop is for anyone who would benefit from
information and guidance related to plant selection to conserve water,
rainwater harvesting, efficient home irrigation systems, converting
landscapes from lawn to ornamental plants and water quality,” said Julie
Ansley, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resource agent for
Travis County and program coordinator.
Because water conservation is the central topic of the
program, many workshop topics will address how attendees can get a
“bigger bang for their buck” from their water bill, Ansley said.
Cost is $25 for adults and $15 for youth ages 8-12,
including lunch, which provides a vegetarian option. There also will be
water conservation-related giveaways.
Ansley said the program also will offer many fun and educational activities and games for youth related to water conservation.
“At the event, kids can learn about area aquifers,
rainwater simulation and water conservation at home and school during
the program,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for the whole family
to learn more about being ‘water wise’ while having fun together.”
