A family operated bamboo nursery in Central Florida 

Our lifelong love of plants and their use in the landscape was a factor in our decision to locate in rural Central Florida, which in turn allowed us to pursue an interest in bamboo.  We acquired our first bamboo plant and with the misinformation at hand promptly killed it.  The result was an intensive search for information on bamboo culture and an ever broadening understanding of the grass.  We welcome you to visit us at our farm in Rutland, FL.  As we a family operated nursery we ask that you please make an appointment for your visit in order to ensure that we will be available to answer your questions. Don't hesitate to leave a message on the recorder as we maybe available, but at work in the nursery and will check the recorder regularly during the day.  The links below are websites which we have found to contain useful information and which you may wish to visit should you not find the information you need at our website.
