South Louisiana, near New Orleans---anyone else around here?

I just got some land to turn into a Food Forest.
I'd love to meet some local people doing this in my area (Slidell).

Hello, my name is Paloma. I'm living in New Orleans, and I would love to come see what your food forest endeavor is all about. My email address is palomagoza@gmail.com I hope to hear from you soon! Cheers

Hi Paloma
So far, all I have is a large backyard that I'm clearing for Spring planting.
I'd be happy to communicate with you as it grows.

Hey!
We are in Mandeville, how's it going? We are renting at the moment but looking for a place to buy somewhere southish. We actually just moved down a few months ago, it's been an interesting year.
I'm Mika. If you ever need a hand let me know, always willing to chip in a hand with projects (as long as I have time!) Sometimes, I can get one of the roomies to help too.
