Grow Your Own Bushfoods

A complete guide to planting, eating and harvesting.

Grow your own bushfoods is a comprehensive and practical guide to growing and harvesting more than 140 kinds of Australian bushfoods right in your own backyard.

Detailed plant profiles describe ideal growing conditions and characteristics of each species. In addition, there are suggestions on the best ways to prepare and eat your bushfoods. Use them as flavourings in jam, muffins or sauces or make your own bush teas and sweet drinks. A bushfood directory is also included, which lists suppliers of catalogues, seeds and seedlings as well as native plant gardens open for inspection.

Written with an emphasis on using organic growing methods, Grow Your Own Bushfoods enables everyone to enjoy Australian Bushfoods while at the same time preserving our endangered plant species.

Keith and Irene Smith have promoted organic gardening and the conservation of the bush since they started Earth Garden magazine in 1972. Their dream is to turn Australia into a giant bush gardenbefore it is too late and this book contributes toward that goal.
