Winter and Bamboo Creations at Murrabit Country Market

Bamboo Creations going to Murrabit market

Winter has started and we are having a big market weekend.  Saturday 4^th June Bamboo Creations Victoria is back up to Murrabit near Swan Hill on the mighty Murrey River.  We went up there just recently and had a great time so we are back this month.

This is a monthly market held on the 1st Saturday of each month with over 200 stalls.  There are plenty of different stalls from food, produce, clothes, shoes and of course plants.

Winter is still a good time to plant bamboo as the new plants need to be watered. Let mother nature help with the watering (unless you find watering a soothing timeout).

To celebrate the start of Winter we are having a sale and taking 20% of all bamboo. Grab a plant while this special is on. We can take orders over the phone (Ph: 1300 654 454) and even deliver free to one of our many markets (view our website for a full list of the events that we attend).

New market for Bamboo Creations - Murrabit

Bamboo Creations Victoria attending Murrabit Market

You may all be thinking where is Murrabit. This is a town close to Swan Hill on the magnificent Murray River. 

The market is held on Gonn Avenue in Murrabit from 8:30am to 1pm on this Saturday. Our website has been altered to include details of this market as well as a link to the Murrabit market website.

To celebrate attending this market for the first time, Bamboo Creations Victoria are reducing most of our stock by 20%. We are selling some of our plants from as little as $15.

The Murrabit market has been running since 1977 and has grown to many hundred stall holders. The stalls range from fruit and vegetables,  local hand crafts, plants, tools, fishing gear, clothes, shoes and  hardware. The Town of Murrabit is great for camping and offers the mighty Murray River for boating activities and fishing.

Soft Womens Bamboo Long Sleeve T-Shirts

Bamboo Creations long sleeve bamboo women's t-shirts

This weekend is the ANZAC day long weekend so our hours have slightly changed. Our hours for this weekend are: Sat 9am-4pm, Sun 10am-4pm and Mon (ANZAC day) 1pm-4pm. Our website has been altered to reflect the change in nursery opening hours in case you need more information.

We have now introduced soft and comfy Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirts to our website. These come in both black and white in a variety of sizes. Be prepared for the cooler months with these high quality t-shirts. Long Sleeve T-Shirts: www.bamboo-plants.com.au/bamboo-products/womens-bamboo-long-sleeve-tshirt.php

As these t-shirts are made from bamboo fibre all the same anti-bacterial properties apply. Tests have shown that bacteria on bamboo fibre decreases over time to help reduce the body odour from these products. So when the products are worn against the skin they adsorb sweat and then the anti-bacterial properties of the fibre kick in to keep the bacteria in check.

Sydney here comes Bamboo Creations Victoria

Jade Goddess Bamboo

We are now heading up to Sydney to join many other Plant Nurseries at the 2016 Collectors Plant Fair. As discussed in the previous post, this fair is running over this weekend at the Hawkesbury Race Club in Clarendon in New South Wales. More details about this event can be found on our website.

One of the bamboo that we will be taking is Jade Goddess. We will have this on special while at the Plant Fair. 

Jade Goddess is a clumping type of bamboo with a very delicate appearance. It has a maximum height of about 4 metres and a clump diameter of about 1metre which is great for blocking lower buildings. For more information about this great bamboo check out our Jade Goddess page on our website:www.bamboo-plants.com.au/bamboo-products/jade-goddess-bamboo.php

See you all soon in Sydney.

This event will be held at the Hawkesbury Race Club which is at 1 Racecourse Road in Clarendon. It runs from 8am - 4pm on Sat 9th April and 9am - 4pm on Sun 10th April. 

There will be over 70 different nurseries stocking everything you will need and want for your garden or gardening project.  There is also a list of guest speakers. We have a link to the collectors plant fair on our website if you would like more information on this event.

We will be taking our van full of different bamboo and bamboo products. One Bamboo in particular is Jade Goddess. Jade Goddess will be our show special as we are selling this bamboo at half price.  Normally $120, for this show we will be selling Jade Goddess for $60.

Jade Goddess is a clumping type of bamboo with a maximum height of about 4 metres. Due to the clumping nature of this plant, it is great for hedging and screening.

Alphonse Karr, Gracilis bamboo going to Canberra

Bamboo Creations Victoria going to Lanyon Plant Fair

Bamboo Creations Victoria is attending the 2016 Lanyon Plant Fair in Canberra. The Lanyon Plant Fair is held this weekend (12th and 13th March 2016) at the Lanyon Homestead, Tharwa Drive, Tharwa ACT, Canberra. It will be running from 10am - 4pm each day.

The Lanyon homestead is a historic location with beautiful surrounding gardens. This is a double whammy for plant lovers as there will be lots of plants to see and buy as well as fabulous gardens to walk around and enjoy.

We will be attending this event with lots of plants specifically suited to the Canberra climate.  We propagate all our Bamboo from good quality stock giving a much better end product. The bamboo that we will be taking will look fantastic and be frost tolerant. An example is Alphose Karr. This bamboo will tolerate temperatures down to about -12 degrees. Another example is Gracilis which will tolerate similar temperatures. We just happen to have Gracilis on special from only $49 each.

Shhhh - Don't tell anyone but we will be taking other plant products to increase our product range. More about this one later or come and see us up at Canberra.

Where is it - the Canberra Horticultural Society website says: From the Canberra CBD head south along Tuggeranong Parkway/Drakeford Drive. Turn right onto Tharwa Drive, and follow signs to Lanyon Homestead on the southern outskirts of Canberra.  We have a link to this website from our website so visit our page if you would like more information.
