Not that I am aware of. I bet there would be some interest, though if you were inclined to form one! Occasionally there are land stewardship lectures at Austin College. I would think there would be a great need for a club there!

Hi, I live halfway between Buffalo and Jewett, Texas. My area seems bereft of any organic practices. I know of one organic nursery, located in Mexia. Do you have any info on organic gardening groups or resources in my area? Thanks.

I do not know. Your best bet would be to ask this of Dwayne Somerville or someone there at the Texas Organic Nursery and Christmas Tree Farm. If not, you could always start one. :)

I know it has been a long time since you posted this. I am interested in the organic nursery in Mexia. I am in the Huntsville area and to my knowledge there are few if any organic resources here.
