"If you're looking for bamboo I highly recommend visiting..."John! We arrived at his residential bamboo nursery and were warmly greeted. We explained what we were looking for and he showed us around and the numerous varieties he had to offer. It was breathtaking!

I actually kind of got emotional because I could tell bamboo was his absolute passion! The whole experience was incredible. Go see him. You won't regret it! Thanks, John. We love our bamboo!"

-Randy S.

"So happy I found this place! I wanted to put in bamboo as a privacy screen in my yard but didn't know where to start.

Jon was super helpful and informative throughout the process - through responding to my initial email inquiry, to chatting over the phone, to patiently showing me all their plants at the nursery. He even recommended the type of planter I could use and how to plant it. A genuine, knowledgable, and friendly guy, and I will be going back for any future bamboo needs."

-Chance T.

"I've been to this place many times and I've always had great experiences. I can't say enough about the owner, Jon. His enthusiasm / support for my various projects, combined his patience (I ask a lot of questions) fosters a very welcoming environment.

Tapping into Jon's knowledge and wisdom of these plants has really helped me to hone my own vision for my garden. All I can say is.. this place is a great vibe and totally worth checking out (even if you're just curious to learn a little more about bamboo)! Don't miss it!"
