The long-awaited Tyler Parkway roundabout landscaping project is underway. Above, Chris Rothenbach of the Payson Gateway Committee waters some of the new drought tolerant high desert plants. They include turpentine bushes, angelita daisies and paper flowers. A solar-powered drip system will be installed. Nancy Cox, who heads the committee, says much money still needs to be raised to add a brass elk as the crowning touch. Cox thanks Plant Fair Nursery and Simmons Landscaping for their support of the endeavor.

That's fantastig! When I drove by yeasterday I watched them plant and rake....and yes...smile at the same time. I am thankful to all the people who give their time to beautify our town.
My husband drives the roundabout everyday when he goes to work, at 2 am. He sees hurds of elk "hanging out" there all the time. I was thinking, and I hope they won't feast on all these new plants.
Just wanted to give you a heads up!
