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 adapted to our climate and soil.
A Truly Australian flavour
Bush food has sustained generations of Aboriginal peoples for centuries, and today represents a rich and vibrant history in the culture of this land. The Tucker Bush range aims to introduce a truly local flavour to the modern suburban home, working with communities who have unique stories to share.
