What
are Indigenous Native Plants?
These
are plants that come from the area in which they are found growing
naturally, in our case, the SW of Western Australia. Indigenous
plants differ from naturalised plants that have been introduced
from other regions. These plants can become weeds in a
local environment. View Catalogue
What
are Provenance Plants?
Provenance plants are grown from seeds collected from an indigenous
species from a specific region. They are collected as close as
possible to the intended planting site, in our case, the bush
around Balingup.
What
are Bush Foods?
The
Australian Aboriginal diet was traditionally composed of 80% Edible
Native Plants. They selected food which was available and ate
it for nutritional purposes, rather than flavour. Today, there
is a growing interest in the cultivation of native edible plants
as a source of food. Browse through our growing selection
