And for the conservationists among us, the city installed a recycled water irrigation system.  For more information on the new course, please go to http://www.stevensparkgolf.com/, or call 214 670 7506.

SPENA and Tom Thumb will then pay SPENA 1% of all grocery purchases as part of their Good Neighbor Program. The amount of the check SPENA receives then depends on the amount of total grocery purchases. Many neighbors have already done this (for which we’re sincerely thankful!) and because of that SPENA received over $200 from Tom Thumb in 2010! This is a wonderfully easy way to support SPENA.

All you need to do is go to

As we all know, plants are not cheap!  The time we spend on our yards is time  consuming, and the money we spend  on watering them can be costly. That’s  why it’s so very important to mulch our  beds properly.

People sometimes overlook this  component of gardening, but in my  opinion, it’s just as important as to  where

Purpose: The SPENA Conservation District (CD) planning committee began 7-8 years ago. At that time, there was concern that our neighborhood might become victim of “MacMansions” – people coming in, razing an existing house, and building something that covered the lot. We have seen the effects of this in the Park Cities area and, more recently, in East Kessler.
