Grow Your Own Bushfoods by Keith and Irene Smith

Grow Your Own Bushfoods is the first-ever 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 jams, muffins or sauces, or make your own bush teas and sweet drinks. A bushfoods 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 natural growing methods, Grow Your Own Bushfoods enable everyone to enjoy Australian bushfoods while at the same time preserving our endangered plant species.
