Bushfood tastings are not only a sensory experience but also an opportunity to explore the sustainability of native Australian plants. You will discover how cultivating and consuming bushfoods supports biodiversity and strengthens local ecosystems.

These plants are perfectly adapted to Australia’s unique climates, being drought-resistant and requiring less water than many non-native crops, making them a sustainable choice for modern gardening and agriculture.

Additionally, you will gain insights into the cultural significance of these native foods, understanding their deep-rooted connection to Australia's natural landscape and sustainable living practices that have endured for thousands of years.

The connection between bushfoods & biodiversity

Bushfoods are essential in supporting Australia’s biodiversity by fostering a balanced, thriving ecosystem. Native Australian plants not only offer sustenance but also provide critical habitat for local fauna, serving as food and shelter for birds, insects, and other wildlife. By cultivating native Australian bushfoods in your garden, you directly contribute towards the ongoing health of natural ecosystems, promoting biodiversity and sustainability.

Flora 4 Fauna’s bushfood tastings go beyond flavour, showcasing the broader environmental benefits of native Australian plants and their vital role in securing Australia’s ecological future.

Hear what some of our customers and clients said about their Flora 4 Fauna bushfood tasting experience.

“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.”

“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!!”

Kate Wall, Gardening Coach

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.
