A Garden for Life’s Bushtucker Plant workshop was deeply informative and enjoyable. We saw, touched, smelled and tasted dozens of live plants, fruit, seeds and leaves, focussing on locally relevant species. Narelle’s passion for plants and garden spaces shines through in her well organised and value-packed class which included delicious freshly made bush tucker tea, muffins, pesto, dips, nuts and berries to sample and a plant to take home.
