The Permaculture meet up in partnership with Southeast Texas Permaculture Network (STPN) this third Saturday is to meet local Permaculture activists in Sunnyside who are Sowing Seeds of Resilience.
9:30-10:20am We meet up at Journey HTX for a tour of the garden with Husani Sallah-Wilson.
Husani Sallah-Wilson, known as "Baba Hu," is a Houston native who discovered Permaculture Design while exploring alternative living systems. He has since blended permaculture principles with the needs of urban communities to create designs that enhance quality of life. Through thoughtful planning, Baba Hu transforms spaces into practical and aesthetically pleasing environments that serve as valuable resources for the community.
10:30-11:30 - The Ranch Houston, 10 minutes down the road at Fuqua @Cullen (77048)
We tour The Ranch Houston with Tamika and Lenie Caston-Miller. The Ranch Houston was founded in 2020 as a social impact company that leverages flower farming, yoga and art to build joy for traditionally marginalized and underserved communities.
Tamika Caston-Miller is a yoga futurist & educator living a creative life as an urban farmer florist, garden designer, and conscious community builder. Founder of The Ranch Houston and Ashe Yoga Collective, she helps people live more nature integrated lives in service to collective healing and community repair. Tamika’s approach to growing, farming, and gardening is guided by the permaculture principle of People Care. She views tending the land as a practice of ancestral remembering and soul tending, and aims to rebuild connection to the nature, community, and Self.

In Support of Urban Harvest, Inc.
Urban Harvest cultivates thriving communities through gardening and access to healthy, local food. We are improving the lives, soil, and plates of all Houstonians through:
ORGANIC GARDENING & NUTRITION EDUCATION
Urban Harvest Classes teach and promote the benefits of organic gardening, ecological land management, and healthy food choices. In schools, our Garden Educators teach children about nature and the origins of their food through hands-on, experiential learning.
HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS
Through Double Up Houston, Urban Harvest is making fresh, healthy food accessible and affordable for all. Double Up Houston provides SNAP (formerly food stamps) beneficiaries with double the amount of fresh produce for every dollar spent at markets and farm stands across Houston.
COMMUNITY GARDENS
With a network of over 140 edible gardens throughout the Greater Houston area, it's easy to get involved in a garden near you. Urban Harvest provides affiliate gardens with volunteer engagement and workdays; seed and plant distributions; and, free education opportunities to help each garden become long-lasting and well-established for the community it serves.
FARMERS MARKETS
Get to know your farmer at Urban Harvest's Farmers Markets. Here, you will find the freshest farm and artisanal products, each grown, raised, and made within 180 miles of Houston. What’s more, your food dollars stay in the local economy.
