Writer and mother of two, Colleen Sheehan founded Weeding Women in 1989. Her idea sprouted from the frustration of not being able to find a good gardener to help her at home.

“They were so slow! I got so frustrated I decided to finish it off myself, paid a couple of female friends to help me, and we did a great job in no time. That was the birth of Weeding Women.”

Her team of gardeners grew from two to 20 in a fortnight. The business quickly blossomed – literally from the ground up – to become an iconic West Australian brand.

As a family owned and operated business, the core values of Weeding Women have been the same since its inception. Simply put, they are:

to deliver a hardworking service that is good value for money
be reliable
treat customers as we wish to be treated

Today Weeding Women operates from a head office in Osborne Park. There is a team of over 40 staff including a base network of 25 gardeners, four franchisees, plus support staff, administration and management.
