Tucker Bush is a range of Australian native plants with edible fruits, nuts, seeds and leaves.
Delicious Edible Native Plants
Did you know that most of the edibles we grow in our gardens today were originally imported from overseas? With Tucker Bush edible natives, you can enjoy a backyard full of unique and delicious bush tucker fruits, roots, nuts, seeds and leaves from plants naturally designed for our climate and soil.
A Truly Australian flavour
Bush food has sustained generations of traditional Australians for centuries, and today represents a rich and vibrant history in this country’s culture. The Tucker Bush range aims to introduce a truly Australian flavour to the modern suburban home, working with communities with unique stories to share.
Tucker Bush Schools Program
The Tucker Bush Schools Program assists schools in establishing their own bush tucker gardens, enriching the learning environment with native edible plants.
Our dream is to see bushfood gardens in schools all over the country, giving young Australians a stronger connection to nature and their food supply.

Our Goals for Tucker Bush
“Popularise native edibles in our modern lifestyle and cuisine – both through home growing and gourmet cooking.”
“Influence a cultural shift that contributes to preserving Australia’s food security and biodiversity.”
“Help young Australians grow up with a stronger connection to nature and their food supply.”
“Make Australian native edibles more readily available to average home gardener.”
“Help gardeners successfully grow species that thrive in our soils and climate.”
Our big vision is to have every Australian garden include an indigenous edible plant and to educate gardeners (and children) in the process.
