Jamie Wallace
Jamie is co-owner of JAAN Designs, a regenerative landscape design and construction company on Vancouver Island. Jamie has been working in the landscape industry for over 38 years since starting his career with the Vancouver Parks board. Jamie completed a four-year apprenticeship, providing him with a wide variety of experience in places like Queen Elizabeth Park, Stanley Park, The Bloedel Conservatory, and Van Dusen Gardens. Following a keen interest in plants and their cultivation, Jamie secured a position in England working at Windsor Great Park for the Crown commission. While working in England, Jamie was privileged to visit Bhutan on a plant and bird trek. This trip inspired him to learn more about how these Himalayan plants thrive in this incredible environment.
In 1996 with a healthy plant knowledge base, Jamie and Angela moved to Lantzville on Vancouver Island where they started a landscape design and construction firm. The BC Landscape and Nursery Assoc., Canadian Nursery and Landscape Assoc., along with the Canadian Home Builders Assoc. of BC recognized their company for the unique and high-quality landscapes that they created.
Jamie’s current focus has been on regenerative or permaculture projects with a strong emphasis on aesthetics, water harvesting, soil biology and soil creation. Jamie has also been working with Oregon State University’s online Permaculture Design Certificate and Advanced Permaculture Design for Climate Resilience program as an instructor and recently worked with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District on their Agriculture water use program, a topic close to his heart.

Meet the Host
Javan K. Bernakevitch
Javan Bernakevitch is a life and land designer, who speaks, writes, teaches and consults with clients, businesses and farms worldwide through All Points Design and RegenerativeLiving.online.
He believes that if we don't design our lives, they'll be designed for us, and not for our benefit. He says, “If humans want to have a long life here on our planet, we best act like we are part of the ecology.” He works to ensure that his clients' lives and landscapes get better every year.
Integrating Keyline Design, Holistic Management, Permaculture, the Soil Food Web, Myco-Integration, Project Management and Business implementation, he understands and emphasizes the importance of balancing biological systems - soil, water-harvesting, landscape rehydration, composting, growing food and biological waste-water treatment - with financial viability. A career focus on regenerative retrofits has taken him across North and Central America, Europe and Africa.

You offered a lot of great resources, insights, and a unique perspective and I am really grateful for you time and help. I really enjoyed the class!

Our students love us
This course really brought together using permaculture principles and making them beautiful. Aesthetics are incredibly important in naturalized areas and sustainable plantings, as people care about beautiful things. Jamie has decades of experience and takes the time to walk you through his design process, helping you understand what makes something look aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend!

Jamie, you’ve surpassed my expectations as an instructor and I appreciate all of your time invested in seeing that I succeed and took most out of this class as possible
T.S.
This has truly been a wonderful experience. I have learned so much from you Jamie. Y'all are truly inspiring and I wish you the very best taking your work out into the world in new ways.

This course provided me with inspiring and helpful information as I design a small retreat center. The Oregon State University Permaculture Pro course, which I am currently completing, has done a fantastic job of laying a foundation of design based on the 12 permaculture principles. However, I had been longing to take my design skills a step further to create a space of natural beauty and tranquility for the world-weary souls that spend time at this retreat. The Aesthetic Design course bountifully supplied the information I was seeking on how to work with patterns, textures, colors, hardscapes, water, and soil, and then integrate it all into coherent, beautiful ourdoor spaces. I highly recommend this course to any permaculture landscape designer who is wanting to level up their designs to enhance aesthetic beauty in their site.

Jamie was incredibly knowledgeable, and had a wonderful way of deconstructing his design process to make it understandable during the course. The course website and tools/resources that Javan and Jamie provided were interactive and organized. A great course for people looking to bring more aesthetic unity and harmony to their designs.

Shout out to Mr. Wallace for being an amazing instructor. It’s so much fun working alongside a group of people uplifting people and the planet.

My reason for taking the course was to educate myself on how to beautify regenerative design. This course did just that. Learning how the landscapes are thought out with specific plants and hardscapes was especially useful. My favorite topic was the additional clips Jamie provided showing how he used the software to show his initial concept and add the layers for each level of planting. It is something I had zero experience with and the visual was so helpful!

Jamie, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and helping guide us through a complex subject.

Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Learned a ton from you (as usual), Jamie, and the students. Also, the shared resources are incredible and I'm already deep in a couple of the recommended books.
Unfortunately, my schedule didn't play nice and I couldn't make most of the sessions live, but it's been great to follow along. Your website and platform have functioned flawlessly for me.
It's amazing how my passion for this stuff is only getting stronger the more I learn and practice. It's been a really positive part of my life in recent months; so rewarding to me personally.
Again, thank you. I look forward to the next one!
