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.

What our customers and clients say

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

“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

“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.”

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.”

"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."
