What do you get when you try to combine historic preservation with natural building and permaculture? **Jacqueline May**, an Austin artist and environmentalist, will tell us at our November General Meeting.

Austin artist and environmentalist Jacqueline May will introduce us to a solution that is a collaboration between a talented builder and the artist. The speaker has renovated an old rock house by combining historic elements with straw bale walls and cob, which is a material similar to adobe.

As it turns out, she is also a passionate gardener. She has developed a rain garden style that is beautiful, provides local organic food and, at the same time, reduces flooding, and purifies water with the use of fungi. So be sure to make the November meeting to see Jacqueline's slides of her beautiful stone house and surrounding native and food producing gardens.

[Eco Centro](https://www.facebook.com/EcoCentro1/) is located at San Antonio College, 1802 North Main Avenue @ Locust Street. There is a parking lot adjacent to Eco Centro which is entered from Locust Street.
