 This weekend Bamboo Creations Victoria are down at Gippsland's Baw Baw Garden and Home Expo.  This is at Lardner Park near Warrigul.

The Garden and Home Expo has over 150 exhibiters from plant nurseries (including Bamboo Creations Nursery), landscapers, water saving devices to statues and garden features.  There also guest speakers including television celebrity John Patrick.


This expo is held at Lardner park near Warrigul. Take the Warrigul exit off the Princes Hwy (this is also marked Lardner Park).  For more infomation have a look at the Expo Brochure (Click Here for Info Brochure).

Come and visit us at the expo or make an appointment to visit us at our nursery with lots of your questions about Bamboo.  We can assist with your Bamboo planning.

Flemington market and Napalese Blue bamboo

Nepalese Blue Bamboo with blue coloured culms

This sunday (7th October) we are at the Flemington Market.  The Flemington market is held at the Flemington Race Course. Flemington Racecourse Market provides the best of regional Victorian produce (including Bamboo Creations Victoria) and craft work just around the corner for millions of Melburnians. With the resources of the Flemington Racecourse at our disposal, parking space is never a problem.

One of the many bamboo's we will be taking to this market is the Nepalese Blue Bamboo.  Notice in the picture on the right. The powdered culms gives it a blue colour - very stunning.  This is a clumping bamboo type and has a height of approximately 3.5 - 4 metres.  Check out our handy bamboo guide on our website (in the info page).

Don't forget about our free delivery service.  If you pre-order any plants we can take these to one of our markets free of charge for you to pick up.  Also, if you need bamboo but are not ready to plant them yet we can store them at our Nursery for you.  All we need is a deposit and we will store them for up to a month until you are ready to plant.

End of the year is a time when Bamboo stock runs low until the next season.  The next Bamboo season is early next year to get in quick and order what you need or give us a call and we can discuss your requirements.

Gisborne Market Sunday 7th Oct

We are back to our beloved Gisborne Market this sunday (7th October).  Yes, we will be taking lots of different varieties of bamboo and our statues for you to have a look at and purchase.  It is always good to actually see the different types of bamboo so you can plan your garden. The different types are used for different situations so you need to have all the facts.

To assist you with Bamboo facts we have completed a Bamboo quick reference guide. It is available for you to download via our website info page.  Have a look at the specifications of the different bamboo varieties to assist with planning your garden.  Under the table is a download link so you can print your own copy to make finding the right bamboo easier.  If you still need more information then you can always visit us at one of our markets or expos and we can advise on the best type of bamboo to meet your requriements.

Plant Fair at Al-Ru Farm South Australia

Such a perfect location to showcase and sell our Bamboo. Surrounded by all the lovely gardens at Al-Ru farm. They have created their property with such care and meaning.  The fair is an annual event and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we will be coming back next year.  Keep an eye on our website for more details.

Creating a Bamboo Hedge

If you want to create a hedge out of bamboo then ensure that you choose the right type of bamboo.  We at Bamboo Creations can assist with that decision.

Clumping bamboo makes the best hedging bamboo as it will clump together to form a very thick screen.  Bamboo is also a good choice for hedging as it is very quick growing. To aid in the decision of which bamboo to use please use the guide on the info page of our website (Bamboo Creations Info Page).  This guide lists all bamboo that we grow and their specifications.  

How to use our guide.

This guide will list all the clumping type of Bamboos and their clump diameter of the bamboo.  The clump diameter will show you how far apart to plant your bamboo to form a hedge and therefore how many plants you will need to hedge your area.  

We are currently working on a downloadable version of this guide.  This will be available shortly.  We will blog when it is available and also put a comment on our home page.

Henty Field Days

The Henty Field Days is currently underway (18,19 & 20th Sep). WOW what a market - this is huge. There is everything here - come and have a look.  There is everything here: cars and trucks, farming machinery, solar power equipment and accessories, camping equiment, toys, garden tools and anything else you can think of.

We at Bamboo Creations have taken a lot of Oldhamii, as this is a great speedy screening plant.  We are selling lots.  If you need a screen then come and talk to us about our Oldhamii or another plant.  Due to us selling many plants we are organising another delivery so if you need something then come and see us or call and we can arrange.

Come and see us at our stall.

We have even taken some of our little mystical creature sculptures that go well with our bamboo to add character to your garden. We have many different types of characters and sizes.  These sculptures are made from high quality polyester resin to ensure they last outside in your garden.
