Sophie Birch

“The Bushfood Walk around the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens was great. Lots of useful information & tips for growing your own at home as well as finding food in the wild. Kemp knows his stuff and is more than willing to answer your questions. If our unique native flora is something you are interested in, get to know this bloke.”

Jasmine Steer

“Kemp and Susan from Flora 4 Fauna - Australia provide an invaluable service offering consulting, information and ongoing guidance/support for beautifying habitat, increasing property biodiversity and introducing medicinal/bush foods.

They are happy to share their broad knowledge base in a way that is practical and easy to understand and apply. In addition, they offer a vast array of quality Australian native plants at affordable prices. They don't just take your money; they invest time and energy into sharing what they know. Their passion for sharing knowledge and their love of the natural environment shines through in the incredible and unique service they offer.

I would definitely recommend Flora 4 Fauna Australia.”

Jacinta McMahon

“Fantastic day exploring some very special spots right here in SE Qld. Lots of valuable info that everyone should learn to live within our wonderful environment amongst such beautiful creatures!”

Catherine Parsons

“We recently purchased 20 acres and not long after got Kemp from Flora 4 Fauna out for a consultation. This was hands down the best thing we did, were very glad we did it early on! Not only did Kemp advise us what plants would work well, but also identified species we already had growing (which we would have never known without him).

Kemp recommended specific plants & placements that would be beneficial. We didn’t have high expectations of survival as we have very sandy soil, and we only get out to the block once a week to water. Following Kemp’s guidance, all of our plants have not only survived but are thriving! This was a great feeling to have so many wins and see things thriving, as opposed to struggling to keep things alive. “

Sophie Oliver

Susan Robb

“If you haven't done this walk or attended one of their talks, I really recommend you do so. The knowledge of local bush tucker, medicinal plants, dry rainforest species AND where to buy them from.... is amazing! You will be so pleased you did.”

Shane Stephens

“Great service and so much knowledge. Raising awareness about native plants, flora, fauna and protecting our environment. Thank you.”

Suzanne Grey

The Eco tour to the Bunya Mountains with Flora 4 Fauna exceeded my expectations. As an emerging wildlife photographer, I found the walking pace perfect to be able to zoom in on the many native flora and fauna that showed off in vibrant displays of colours and shapes. Ambling beneath the cooling canopy of this unique ancient subtropical rainforest and marvelling at its abundance and splendour was candy for the soul.The best part was to have Kemp share his intricate learnings of the native flora and fauna we saw. Together with his storytelling and to be able to enjoy Bunya Nut infused local delicacies the experience came full circle.Kemp's intimate knowledge of the rural road network combined with the air conditioned comfort of the car made for a relaxing travel experience.

Christel

"We have been privileged to work with Kemp over the past few years. Kemp has been extremely generous and gracious with sharing his knowledge and apparent love for native plants with us - in turn increasing our love for them and beautifying our property. With Kemp’s advice we have turned our baron house site into an oasis for native animals with minimal maintenance required."

Jane Brooks

“Kemp is an entertaining educator who has opened the world of bush foods to me and the bush tucker plants he sells are a great price.”

Kushla Gale

“Thank you to Flora 4 Fauna Eco Tours for a wonderful day out today exploring the bush foods and biodiversity of the Blackall Ranges. Lots learned and shared in such a relaxed and fun way. Plus, I saw my first Richmond Birdwing butterfly in the wild! What a highlight!!”
