As part of Transition Perth's Veggie Garden Tour on July 27, there will be two permaculture sites to tour in Perth, ON!
Join us for a community potluck lunch in the park. Share some fabulous food, and connect with friends and neighbours. Meet up with others to carpool, or visit the gardens on your own. Donations to Transition Perth are welcome.
SÉBASTIEN & BONITA'S GARDEN
Guided Permaculture Tours: 10am and 1:30pm
Open to Public: 10am to 12pm; 1pm to 3pm
28 Church Street, Perth
Join us for an inspiring and educational visit of the semi-urban garden of two permaculture teachers on 1/5 of an acre of land. Learn about different ways to grow your own food and the "why's" behind the design. This land and garden in "year 3" of a permaculture design features: a young food forest, sheet-mulching, mounded beds, a hugelkultur bed, a portable mini-hoop house, floating row covers, various trellises with simple materials, outdoor compost, worm compost, and a black-walnut plant guild. If you are interested in hearing about the permaculture design for this land, join us for the "guided permaculture tour", which will include a description of the zones, sectors, the plant guilds and the "why" behind the techniques used. Last year these guided tours were full, drawing people from all over Eastern Ontario!
AGAPÉ GARDENS
Guided Permaculture Tour: 2:30pm
Open to Public: 1pm to 3pm
170 Drummond Concession 2A
An educational food site of beauty and diversity. Our mission is to develop a socially innovative rural hub where people can collectively share in the origins of food, and unite in the care of community and the Earth. This 8 acre property and gardens are in the first Phase of a holistic permaculture design, embracing both small-scale and large -scale solutions (Holzer Agro ecology). This is a unique opportunity to see the beginning of a sustainable system where food will grow in abundance and natural design. Also, visitors will see the inception of a Yurt, Collaborative Garden and Children's Garden. Dasha and Sebastien Armand have many years of experience growing food, building communities and working with children. Certified in Permaculture with Bill Mollisson and Geoff Lawton, in 2013 the couple began their certification in Agro Ecology with the rebel farmer Sepp Holzer. This tour will be a real treat for food and garden enthusiasts alike, their families and children! www.agapegardens.ca 613-552-2782
Directions: From Perth take North St, continue over rail tracks, travel 6 minutes until you come to a bend, Drummond Concession is an offshoot of the main road. If you see VW Scotty's on your left, turn around as you just missed the dirt road off shoot. The land is the third lot on the right with a large shedding the front.
Visit the Transition Perth site to see descriptions, times and the map for all the gardens.
