Educational Food Site of Beauty and Diversity. Our mission is to create a socially innovative rural hub where we can collectively share in the origins of food and unite in the care of community and the Earth. "The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land." Abraham Lincoln
Agape Gardens and Homestead is a privately owned family run enterprise situated in rural Perth, On (Canada). We are in the Phase I of creating a permaculture eco system which will evolve into a sustainable food base, a learning centre and a retreat.
Our team:
Sebastien Armand holds a Permaculture Certificate from Bill Mollison and
Geoff Lawton. For the past six years Mr. Armand has extensively and
successfully applied permaculture principles in creation of food systems
for urban and rural projects, as well as national and international
(USA, Argentina, Turkey, Costa Rica, Jamaica).
Dasha Tilleul likes to refer to herself with a name she coined: Vedmama which translates as Vedaushaya Mat’ (rus) - a mother who knows. Native to Siberian plains, Dasha has been a devoted disciple of Anastasia’s teachings (Ringing Cedars Series) for the past four years. She has successfully applied Anastasia’s principles in every aspect of life: from conceiving and birthing two of her children to the creation of her family’s domain: Agape Gardens and Homestead.
Their two daughters Maria Saoirse and Avéna Luna are the main motivating force and ongoing inspiration behind the conception of Agape Gardens and Homestead.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
