We are a group of people who enjoy celebrating the natural environment of the Earth. Meetings: We would like to start by having meet-ups at meetings and events of various local environmental organizations. Many of us have taken Master Naturalist training and we actively support organizations such as Houston Audubon, the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center, the Katy Prairie Conservancy, Armand Bayou Nature Center, etc. You may like this group, if you would like to learn more about our natural env …

There is no question that we live in uncertain times. The goal of the Houston Preparedness Group is to minimize the uncertainties and obtain the peace of mind that being prepared for emergencies brings. We are a non-religious, non-political group.  Our focus is on preparing for whatever disasters may head our way in the future and on independent, do-it-yourself living.  We are interested in re-learning the skills of our grandparents and great-grandparents. The Houston Preparedness Group brings …

U.H.G.U was founded by Charles and Zach in 2009 with the goal of making distributed urban agriculture a reality in the Houston area. We focus on Indoor, Backyard, Greenhouse, and Rooftop hydroponic production. Though crop specialization growers can produce more yield and gain more knowledge about their crop. Growers can then come together as a co-op or business to distribute or sell their produce. We welcome beginners all the way to expert growers.

I decided to start this group actually in 2007 to volunteer my time brightening up the days of the elderly, mentally challenged and sick in various facilities in Fort Bend and I invite other ladies to join me so I decided to add it to Meetup so that you can give back with your time or have fun socializing too! The ladybugs host or attend teas, luncheons, mini excursions here and there, and its a nice way for other ladies to get together and have fun while also fluttering about doing good deeds. …

The Houston Outdoor Market is moving to Pasadena, Texas! As soon as we have all our ducks in a row and our permits ready to start running the market again, we will let you all know. For now, you can visit us on the weekends while we get the new property ready. Just give us a call first to make sure we haven't stepped out for a bit; we would hate to miss your visit. The new property is bigger and better. We have 2 and 1/2 acres of land, water and electric, ample parking space, and plans to make t …

Ok, so you want to learn how to do something. I know some of us have a NEED to know how to make our own things, maybe recycle things, live on the land, make things you can't find elsewhere or even better, you are picky and NO ONE makes it the way YOU want it. Or we just have this powerful desire to learn things. Maybe some of us want to make things to enrich our lives or we love artsy craftsy things and wish to make pretty things or maybe there is a need or desire to help ourselves save money, s …

All levels of gardening experience (and inexperience) are welcome in our group. We get our hands dirty each Tuesday morning from 9 to 11 a.m. and on a Saturday morning about once a quarter. Most of the produce goes to the shelter for the Houston Area Women's Center but gardeners can often take some home too.  The garden location is in the MIdtown area of Houston.

This is a place where all local people who are vegetarian, vegan, or raw vegan, or just interested in becoming so, can connect with others of the like. I want this group to be ACTIVE, FRIENDLY, OPEN MINDED, and EFFECTIVE! Stereotypes are overrated. This is not a "hippee" or a "tree hugging" group; just people who want to be HEALTHY, FIT, SUSTAINABLE, ADVENTUROUS, (and in my opinion) SMART! Lets meet like minded people, make friends, network, and improve ourselves and the planet! I really hope yo …

This is a social group for residents of the Garden Oaks/Oak Forest (GOOF) & the surrounding areas. I noticed that there isn't a general Meetup group for this neighborhood. I figure that this might be a good way to connect with each other, share resources and perhaps it will lead to meetups for social activities. There is a fantastic site for parents of young children ages 0-5 called The Oakies: http://www.meetup.com/TheOakies/ There site was actually the inspiration for this one. For now, anyone …

This is a group for LGBT families, Alies families, and any other Alternative families, that would like to share in support and socializing. I started this group because it became aware to me that while plenty of groups are inclusive, they cannot share the experiences that are unique to LGBT parents. Another reason I started this group is to ensure complete accessibility to various meet ups. I use a power wheelchair and often times the groups I joined would hold parties and support meetings at pl …

For all things chicken.
