Bamboo, bamboo everywhere!!!!!!! Saturday, November 15, found bamboo lovers from three counties gathered in great anticipation for the "First Bamboo Lecture" ever to be held at Tropical Ranch Botanical Gardens. Our guest speakers, Chip Barney and Devon Robinson, co-owners of New Shoots Bamboo Nursery held our audience spellbound as they discussed the ins-and-outs of growing bamboo. These young men are so enthusiastic about their plants that this author, who is not a bamboo lover, is now looking for a place to put one in her yard. They brought small, 15 gallon-sized plants to huge 45 gallon size. Different varieties were shown and each was thoroughly discussed as to full size, water needs, fertilizer and the best location. All in all, it was a great time and we all walked away, or pulled out plants in our carts, with much more knowledge and love for this fastest growing of all plants. |
