Junior explorers: Wild about plants!

Go wild about native Aussie plants these school holidays! Discover fascinating facts about some of our native plants, track down clues on a useful plants scavenger hunt challenge, get creative and experiment with plants, fibres, and other natural materials, and taste some commercial 'bush foods' made from native plant ingredients. Along the way you’ll learn why native plants are crucial for healthy habitats and how growing native plants can help us improve biodiversity in our bushlands, backyards, and balconies.
