Come join us in our new Native Bushfood Garden at House of Hope and learn about growing your own bushfoods local to Sunshine Coast and the role of food and time in nature for mental health.

Workshop Overview

Join Veronica from Witjuti Grub Bushfood Nursery and discover the diverse selection of bushfoods you can grow here on the Sunshine Coast (Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country) and hear about the recent research on the role of food and time in nature for our mental health and wellbeing  from local Psychologist and Therapeutic Horticulture Practitioner Kristy Howard (In My Mother’s Kitchen).
