Yarnin’ Seeds & BUSH FUTURES
Yarnin’ Seeds
Yarnin’ Seeds is a women-led program supporting First Nations women to build practical skills, confidence and leadership through hands-on horticulture and land care in Broome. The program brings women together through workshops and on-Country activities to propagate and plant traditional bush foods, medicinal plants and local native species, while creating spaces for yarning, knowledge sharing and connection.
Participants develop job-ready skills across a range of horticulture and landscaping activities, including plant propagation and planting, landscape construction, earthworks, paving, lawn establishment and care, mulching, and installing reticulation and irrigation systems to support long-term garden sustainability. The program may also include basic tool identification and safe use training, and support for relevant tickets and certifications where appropriate.
Yarnin’ Seeds is proudly supported by the Government of Western Australia Department of Communities through the Women’s Grants for a Stronger Future Program.
