Planting Bushfood in your Backyard
Tucker Bush is a range of Australian native plants with edible fruits, nuts, shoots, leaves and roots. These incredible bushfood species have sustained Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for thousands of years. Native edibles are naturally adapted to the climate and soil of this land, meaning they need less water and less effort to maintain when grown in similar conditions.
Mark founded the Tucker Bush project, first, to popularise and make available native edibles in our modern lifestyle and cuisine — both through home growing and gourmet cooking. Second, to help young Australians grow up with a stronger connection to nature and their food supply. And third, to influence a cultural shift that contributes to preserving Australia’s food security and biodiversity through growing species that thrive in our soils and climate.
In this informative workshop Mark will discuss what bush food plants you can grow in your garden and how to utilise them.
