Show us your Bamboo!

FREE £5 SCOTTISH BAMBOO VOUCHER - JUST SHOW US YOUR BAMBOO PLANTS!

We are always looking for ways to improve our website, especially giving website visitors ideas and inspiration for using bamboo in their garden. We feel the best way to showcase 'real uses' of bamboo in the garden is to invite you, bamboo lovers with bamboo in your garden, to send us snaps of your 'boo's'! We are not looking for high quality photography but merely a collection of photos showing different ways in which our customers use bamboo plants in their garden. You may have a bamboo hedge, a solitary specimen or a bamboo in a pot - just send us a snap so we can put it on our website.

What's more, we are offering all of you who kindly send us a photo a £5 SCOTTISH BAMBOO VOUCHER (one voucher per household) for your trouble. In addition the snap which captures the most innovative use of bamboo, will be rewarded with a FREE 5 litre bamboo plant of your choice from our website.

Autumn Planting for Bamboo

Autumn, what better time to plant your new bamboo plants.

Dig your planting hole, add plenty of compost/soil improver and let mother nature take care of the watering for you. Planting for the less energetic.

The ground still has plenty of warmth from Spring/Summer. Give your plants a head start by adding a mulch and an initial water containing our Sea Poodir organic plant food.

Remember all of our plants are the hardiest of bamboo and are still currently kept outdoors during our typically cold North East Scotland winter nights.
