I had a wonderful email during the week from USA asking for some recipe advice using Australian native bushfoods.  On following up on the website that was given to me I found that "City Green" is a community based garden teaching kids how to grow healthy food.......part of their garden was an Australian themed bush garden grown muntries, warragul greens, mountain pepper and bush tomato.  Amonst other things on a very interesting website was the comment "Third, fourth and fifth grade students that participated in school gardening activities scored significantly higher on science achievement tests compared to students that did not experience garden-based learning activities" (Klemmer, C.D., Waliczek, T.M. & Zajicek, J.J.; 2005)  Food for thought!!!  Not only that gardens and growing your own food is fun....it really is....
