Yarrow Collective recognizes that the loss of plant and pollinator habitat are a direct result of colonization and stolen land, and commits to challenging colonial gardening and artistic practices. Our work is informed by being visitors on the traditional, unceded territory of the the lək̓ʷəŋən-speaking People, now known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. We honour these caretakers, respect their protocols, and learn from those who are healing the land.
For every Yarrow Collective project, we contribute 15% of the artist fees paid to local Indigenous-led regeneration work in our region. We partner with local community groups who will steward future pollinator gardens and learning from those who are healing the land.
