The nursery is located at our family residence just outside the city limits of Portland, Oregon in Cedar Mill. I started collecting bamboo in 1996 and currently grow over 30 different species, many of which are very rare in cultivation. We obtained a nursery license in 2006 to legally sell bamboo divisions to you. We use a very rich bat guano based organic potting soil for plant divisions. Organic Bio-Turf Grass Fertilizer from Down to Earth Distributors, Inc out of Eugene, Oregon is our preferred fertilizer for potted bamboo. In the garden only organic natural fertilizers such as composted steer manure, horse manure, mushroom compost and shredded leaves are used as top dressings for the bamboo clumps and groves. We depend on the natural environment of predator insects, diversity of plants, birds and animal life to help manage our garden.

Why grow your garden using organic methods? The aim of the organic gardener is to create an environment in which healthy plants can be grown successfully and pests and diseases discouraged without damaging or polluting the soil or destroying wildlife. Nature has created its own system of checks and balances, predators and prey, and if you create an environment in which they all flourish side by side, then nature will do much of the work for you. Bamboo is such a vigorous grower with very few pests here in Oregon that it really doesn't need much help from you to perform well in the garden.

We need your help to keep our garden free of bamboo mites. If you already own some bamboo; don't touch, rub up against or go into your bamboo groves prior to visiting us. This helps to contain the spread of bamboo mites from your garden into our garden. Currently there are no known natural predators for control. We do not sell mite infested or mite damaged plants. I encourage you to let me know in advance if you have mites to help you limit the spread.
