Culture & Country
Continuing culture and strengthening connection to country.
We Grow Australian Native Bushfoods and local endangered plants.
At IndigiGrow, we specialise in propagation and growing of Australian native edible plants in the critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS).
By working with ESBS this important ecosystem, we educate and engage our young people in culture, connection to Country and teach them how to care for Country.

It’s such a pleasure to be doing this kind of work that is going to have long lasting positive impacts on many students attending Matraville Sports High School. Thanks to Stuart Green and the Macquarie Foundation for supporting this project. Where others knocked us back to provide funding to build the Bushfood farm, you guys jumped at the opportunity to support it. To our IndigiGrow team, we do such great work. Keep looking for our socials to see the finished Bushfood farm.
So awesome that we are now getting loads of berries from our Pink Lime Berry plants in our native Bushfood farm. Such an unknown bushfood but we here at IndigiGrow rate it very highly. We have just put down 300 seeds from this plant and are looking forward to when they grow. We have 40 already in pots in the nursery but all 40 will be planted for mother stock so we can grow thousands of these in future and everyone can enjoy this sweet Bushfood
Gee we do deadly stuff at IndigiGrow. Our crew have spent the last 3 days building a native food farm at Matraville Sports High School. The farm will be a great educational facility for the students and a supply chain of native produce for their cooking classes. So proud of our staff and the efforts they put in to create these opportunities in our community. I’d also like to thank Macquarie Group Foundation & Stuart Green for supporting this initiative. It’s been a while coming but we’re getting there. @macquariegroup
So satisfying to be harvesting 5 corners bush lollies from plants in our garden beds that our young staff propagated and planted for future generations. Culture is the foundation for IndigiGrow. The journey continues.
Today marks the beginning of mass propagation of our 80 Citrus australis (native round lime) mother stock plants. We’ve been growing these stock plants for 4 years now and it’s super exciting to now start propagating. We’ll do many hundreds of cuttings over the next month or so and will have these ready for sale some time next year.
In case you haven’t heard yet, we are now selling wholesale priced plants to the public. All your popular edibles, general natives and local coastal species. A huge range all at wholesale prices. Save an absolute packet when planting out your garden this spring. Importantly, our plants are kept out in the elements so they are hardened when you buy them which means they are much more likely to survive when planting as opposed to plants being sheltered and shaded.
