We strive to inspire and teach others to adopt permaculture techniques that will
increase local food production; save potable water; and provide habitat for birds and pollinators
so we can move together as a community
to enhance the sustainability of our town.

Jardin Harpell is a remarkable monument to a special individual, James John Harpell,
whose enlightened legacy deserves to be remembered.
In keeping with his vision for Sainte-Anne-de-Bellebue as a "Garden Community,"
providing the best of both country and city to its residents, this project is an example of
how the peri-urban zones of cities provide immense potential
for increased productivity of fresh, organic food with a zero carbon footprint and a greater quality of life.
