This summer Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District partnered with Ogallala Commons to create a community internship position for the District office. The internship program provides an opportunity for interns to gain skill development, paid work experience and hometown career exploration opportunities while adding value to their local communities and institutions.
We are excited to have James Coffee, a Landscape Architect major at Texas Tech University, with us this summer. James is transforming our xeriscape garden into one that is more aesthetically pleasing and even easier to maintain. Mulch is being replaced with crushed granite and stone, dead brush has been removed, and a dry riverbed with a windmill and bridge is being added. Once complete, we will share detailed step-by-step instructions and pictures so that you can build your own xeriscape garden at home.
In addition to James for all of his hard work and dedication, PGCD would like to thank Johnny, Joe and Justin Freeman for helping immensely by loaning us their tractor.
