NATASHA MEREDITH
i am passionate about building soil, pruning fruit for high production, being the best mother i can be, living a simple and practical lifestyle and photography. our land is a great blessing as it is rich and fertile and i strive to live well, drink well, eat well and love well. lately i have been bombarded with gardening questions, this got me thinking… now that i am 40 i have built my credentials and experience. i can offer valuable insights and know that growing is an ever changing cycle, there is always something to learn.

INGA SCHUMANN
perpetual artist at heart, i dream of creating every moment. i am a graphic artist with way to many years of experience who lives to re-use and up-cycle everything. i was born in Germany went to film school in L A, worked in Barcelona as a creative director and have found my way to settle and create in British Columbia.
Creating PADMA yurt-retreat was a pleasure. i especially enjoyed mixing industrial designs with natural building principles. i feel fortunate that i had the chance and courage to turn my life in this sustainable direction.
