Tucker Bush

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.

All of the plants in the Tucker Bush range play a vital role in our ecosystem, with some species under threat from climate change, deforestation, urban development, over-foraging, and plain old neglect. What’s more, most of the edibles people grow in their gardens today were originally imported from overseas, pushing native bush tucker plants further out of reach.

With your help, and the passion of growers, distributors, suppliers, chefs, foodies and nature-lovers around Australia, we hope to spread the love for local plants and local flavours throughout modern homes and gardens.
