Welcome to Yilgarn Seeds

We are a not-for-profit heirloom vegetable & herb seed business managed by the Drylands Foundation at the Drylands Permaculture Farm in Geraldton, Western Australia. Our seed sales allow us to train volunteers in seed saving and develop our demonstration organic seed gardens and education facilities.

All our vegetable and herb seeds are organically grown in our permaculture gardens. They are all non-GMO, open pollinated and non-hybrid.

Why choose to buy our seeds

Grown Right Here

All our seed is grown here in our Permaculture Gardens in Geraldton. None of the seeds we sell are imported and repackaged.

Each season we select the best plants from each variety and progressively acclimatise them to our changing climate.
