Creating an Indigenous plant-use garden: resources from the bush
TLF ID A002851
For thousands of years, First Nations peoples across Australia have been using plants for many different purposes. Plants are used for food, fibre, shelter, medicine, tools and utensils, hunting, music and ceremony. Everything they needed to survive comes from the land. Outcomes of this learning activity are for learners to: appreciate the diverse range of plants that First Nations peoples across Australia use; explore the different ways that Indigenous plants are used, e.g. food, fibre, medicine, tools, utensils, ceremony and in everyday life; and identify plants from their local area using plant guides.
