About Us
Located in Geraldton, in the Midwest of Western Australia we demonstrate the practical application of Permaculture and environmental conservation.
We operate as a not-for-profit environmental organisation – The Drylands Foundation.
Our enterprises that fund our work in conservation and sustainability include:
Drylands Permaculture Nursery
Local native and multi-use plants for Geraldton and the Midwest Western Australia
‘locally owned, locally grown’
Garden Honey
Harvested by hand from our Bees that forage from our Permaculture Gardens and Native Tree Crops
‘Chemical Free, Hand Harvested Honey’
Yilgarn Seeds
Non-GMO, Open pollinated vegetable and herb heirloom seeds; and endemic native seeds
‘Protecting regional biodiversity and food security’
We offer environmental education and sustainability training as Permaculture practitioners, and are hosts for ‘Willing Workers On Organic Farms’ (WWOOF) and HelpX.
Tours of our farm and volunteering opportunities are available for individuals and organisations interested in learning more about Permaculture and sustainability in drylands environments.

Another old variety of grape available today. Madeleine sultana seedless grape. It is a vigorous early maturing green seedless variety given to me back in the early nineties by one of my oldest and most special friends in Geraldton. Thank you Bobby! Notice how we are growing grapevines on a fence rather than an overhead trellis. This does two things: one we can easily throw a bird net over it once it starts to fruit and two, there is less surface area exposed to the sun on hot days over 40C hence less leaf sunburn.
Nursery is open today, 10am - 5.00pm
