Hi Megan,
Welcome to Permies! I live in the DFW metroplex, but I am on the board of directors for a permaculture nonprofit in East Texas. It's called the Learning Gardens, and it is located in Athens, Texas. It just so happens that we are hosting our second annual Texas Permaculture Expo November 7-9. It was a big hit last year, and is a fantastic opportunity to connect with local permaculture enthusiast. The Texas Permaculture Expo will feature hands-on workshops, thought-provoking presentations, and chances to connect with leaders in regenerative practices. In fact, Permies own Mike Haasl will be joining us as our keynote speaker this year. I hope that you can join us too. If you can't make it to the Texas Permaculture Expo, check out the other events that we will be hosting this year at the Learning Gardens.
