Jade Goddess special at Sydney Collectors Plant Fair

Bamboo Creations attending 2016 Collectors Plant Fait

We are off on another road trip. This time we are heading to New South Wales to attend the 2016 Collectors Plant Fair at the Clarendon (9th and 10th April 2016).

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.

See you in New South Wales on the 9th and 10th April.

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.

Jade Goddess bamboo

Bambusa Boniopsis - Jade Goddess Bamboo

We currently have a special on the beautiful Jade Goddess bamboo.  The botanical name is Bambusa Boniopsis but it is commonly known as Jade Goddess bamboo. 

Our special is Jade Goddess bamboo in 25m pots.  Normally these are $120 but for a limited time we are selling these for $60.  That means that they are selling for half price - what a bargain. 

Jade Goddess is a clumping type of bamboo with a maximum height of about 4 metres.  This is a well suited for inner Melbourne suburbs. It does not really like frosty areas. The bamboo has a delicate appearance with a slightly weeping habit.  This bamboo is great as a hedge or screen as it can be trimmed to shape.  You can also plant this bamboo in a pot or a planter for smaller gardens. 

This is a great price so they will sell out quickly.  Give us a call (1300 654 454) if you would like to discuss this bamboo further or would like to place an order. We can deliver for free to any of our events. Just look at our website to see when and where we will be (www.bamboo-plants.com.au).

Customer Gold Stripe bamboo photos

Gold Stripe Bamboo progress photos

During the week we received a lovely email from one of our customers with a few progress bamboo photos.

"Please see 3 photo’s of our Gold Stripe bamboo plants in our backyard that we purchased from yourselves at Bamboo Creations Victoria.

We are extremely excited with how the Gold Stripe has taken in our backyard in Hillside, as you can see by the 3 photos taken in Oct 2014, then Oct 2015 and then in Feb 2016 we have had terrific growth in just over a 12 month period. 

The first four bamboo you see was planted in October 2014 and the 2^nd four were planted in January 2015, you can even see by the 2^nd and 3^rd photo’s how much the 2^nd set of four have grown in the past 4 months alone

Will see you on Saturday as we plan on coming to purchase More bamboo for our front yard.

Thank you and regards   CRAIG & DANA"

Thank you Graig and Dana for taking the time to take these fantastic photos and sending them to us.  These have also been put into our photo gallery on our website.

Don't forget that the big Seymour Field Days event is this week. Visit our website if you would like more information on this 3 day event.

Bamboo customer pictures for our gallery

Bamboo Creations Victoria love customer bamboo pictures

At Bamboo Creations Victoria we like things real.  Instead of having a few professionally taken photographs we like to see how Bamboo is used in actual gardens.  This is why we have included a "Customer Pics" section in our photo gallery.  We love to see what people have done with bamboo and how it enhances different  gardens. These types of picture are terrific to generate ideas for other people wanting to use bamboo in their own gardens.

So grab your camera, phone or any other device, take a few photos and send them in to us.  We would love to see them.
