This weekend you will see the tent at the Mt Macedon Plant Lovers Fair and next Tues-Thurs we are heading to N.S.W. to attend the Henty Field Days.

The Mt Macedon Plant Lover Fair is held at the historic Bolobek property situated at 370 Mt Macedon Rd, Mt Macedon. The market is open 10am - 4pm on both Sat and Sun. This event is called the Plant Lovers fair for a couple of reasons: firstly the market is made up of lots of different plant growers and retails (including us at Bamboo Creations Victoria), secondly this is held at a magnificent property with spectacular gardens to enjoy.

The Henty Machinery Field Days is another huge event needing 3 days to ensure you see it all and have the opportunity to get all the information you need. This is open from 8am -5pm each day.

Big September

September is a big month for Bamboo Creations Victoria.  Firstly it is the start of Spring (yeah). You can spend your spare hours out in the garden in (hopefully) much better weather. Plants love spring and so do we.  We are attending a couple of big events in September to get our wonderful bamboo out to many more people.

Firstly the Mt Macedon Plant Lovers Fair is on from the 17th to the 18th of September (from 10am to 4pm). This is a two day event held at the beautiful Bolobok estate. According to the Mt Macedon website, this property is listed on Victorian Heritage Register and is noted for its magnificent garden. This is a double bonus for garden lovers. Come and view the many different stall holders and also admire the surrounds.  You can find Bolobok at 370 Mt Macedon Road in Macedon, 3440. 

The second event is the Henty Machinery Field Days. This event is on from the 20th to the 22nd of September from 8am to 5pm. A massive 3 day event featuring more that 800 exhibitors. You should be able to find what ever you are after at an event like this. The Henty Field Days event is held at the Cookardinia Road in Henty, NSW 2658.

Bamboo Creations at Akoonah Park, Berwick market

Akoonah Park Berwick market

Bamboo Creations Victoria are back at Berwick this weekend attending the Akoonah Park market.  You can find Akoonah park on the corner of Princess Hwy and Beaconsfield-Emerald Road. This is open from 8am - 1:30pm.  As you can see from the picture on the right there some of the market is undercover. This is very handy if the weather is not that friendly.  Come along and visit us at Akoonah Park.

Winter is still a good time to plant Bamboo. Bamboo does like a moist soil so let mother nature do the watering for you. Get them settled in your garden prior to the hotter summer weather. A cover of mulch will assist the bamboo survive the frosty mornings. Also, a good helping of loose soil or potting mix will assist with the water drainage so the bamboo can decide on how much water it needs.
