This is a good place to buy bamboo from knowledgeable folks like Penny. They have a lot of selection and will give advise on planting, shade requirement, etc. And if you are are nearby you should visit their farm. There are many varieties growing in what is more like a park than a nursery. read more

Penny specified not once, but twice, the wrong bamboo for my zone (6A). I'm not into over 80 plants and $3000 with Bamboo Garden. The first freeze I accepted as my fault even though I was told my containers would be fine. They died within 2 years. Now I've just paid my landscaper to install 50 plants--only come to find out they too are not rated for my zone and she should have suggested another strain. She offered me 10% off on a new order but I'd have to pay full shipping. In my world, that's bad business...doubling down on a mistake and being greedy. Not good business. read more

I recently visited Bamboo Garden and had a wonderful time speaking with Peter. He guided me through the process of buying planters and selecting the type of bamboo for my needs. Yesterday he arrived to install the bamboo and it looks wonderful. The plants are young so it will take a while for them to leaf out and spread but I'm confident that this was the right choice for a small and private garden. read more

Bamboo Garden - Planters and bamboo plants from Bamboo Garden. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - North Plains, Oregon

This place is definitely secluded, but worth a visit if you have any interest in bamboo. Definitely check out their website before you go--it's extremely informative about the bamboos they carry. Service was top-notch and we were able to chat a bit and see some mature specimens before making our selection. We took a golf cart ride to the hot house to pick out the bamboos we would be taking home. So far, they are all doing extremely well. Today I noticed Fred Meyer carries a few of their selections--nice to know if you don't have time to make it out to the nursery. read more

Two plants that they shipped to me were in perfect condition. The third had most of its leaves 50% brown, and the plant was severely pot bound Probably should have been repotted a year before it was sent to me. The 90 day live guarantee for potted stock is worthless, since even a dying plant will live for 90 days. Seven months after I received the plant, is has only a few leaves, but probably will not actually die. Certainly not worth what I paid for it though, and it has lost at least one year's growing season. read more

Bamboo Paradise in North Plains Or. I am in the middle stages of building a Japanese Garden in my back yard and nothing screams Japanese Garden like Bamboo. I heard about this place and had to check it out. I'm so glad I did because this place is amazing, literally hundreds of varieties of bamboo to choose from at different stages of growth. So, you drive up to the front office area and they are there to greet you and show you their amazing Bamboo City. They offer to take you on a fun ride (on a golf cart) to tour the gardens, it's really fun. I purchased 5 various Bamboo plants. They range from 15-35 bucks each, at least the ones I bought. This place is a MUST visit, the kind of place you have to see at least once in your life. I thought it was eerie sometimes and magical at other times. Kinda like fantasy island of bamboo read more

I am in San Diego and had been looking locally for a while for large planters in which to plant some tall bamboo plants to create a kind of privacy screen to block out my neighbors house behind me. Despite being in a large city, I could not find anything close to what I was looking for. I 'googled' bamboo planters and "high quality bamboo" and Bamboo Garden is what kept coming up. The 6' long dark wood planters were exactly what I was looking for, and the quality of the bamboo shown on their website, along with the incredible amount of information regarding all the different types of bamboo, planting instructions for planting in containers or in-ground, the custom design of their planters that have been constructed and perfected specifically for bamboo plants, and their more than reasonable prices kept me coming back to their website. I decided to make the call and see if shipping multiple large, heavy wooden planters and many tall bamboo plants to San Diego was even an option, and expected it to not be cost effective. I spoke to Peter when I called, and had many questions! Peter was extremely informative and patient, and was able to give me a quote for shipping all the items I wanted on the spot. The shipping was less expensive than I expected, so I decided to take the plunge. I ordered five 6' long planters, 15 bamboo plants and some fertilizer. I am a perfectionist and am very often disappointed in the quality of items when ordered to be shipped, and honestly I expected the planters to arrive with some kind of damage and the plants to arrive in less than stellar condition. I received my order yesterday and was astounded! The five planters, 6' x 2' x 2' in size, were packed with such care there was not so much as a scratch on any of them. They survived the 1,100 mile journey completely unscathed due to the care in which they were packed. Bamboo Garden has the shipping of these over sized planters down to a science. My next pleasant surprise were the 15 bamboo plants. Again, the plants were packed with such care that literally not one branch was broken, they were incredibly healthy and lush, and taller than I expected (yay!). Bamboo Garden takes customer service seriously, and it shows... every step of the way. I needed to wait a week or two in order to have 15 plants of the exact size and type I wanted to come in, and I received a call the same day they arrived at Bamboo Garden, and then an email the next day, as promised, with the tracking number for my order. Everyone I dealt with at Bamboo Garden was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and followed through every step of the way. When my landscape team showed up and saw the quality of the bamboo and the custom planters they were blown away also. They asked me where I got the planters as they have never seen anything that nice locally. I highly recommend Bamboo Garden for beautiful, healthy plants, custom planters made for bamboo, reasonable prices and friendly, knowledgeable employees. I will post pictures when my project is done! read more

These people are wonderfully helpful, salt of the Earth. Peter took the time to help me with advice taking care of my adult bamboo screen. I recommend them without hesitation, great folks! read more

Use the website to get directions. We used GPS which had us driving on a gravel road for 8 miles. We asked Ned if there was an easier way to get back and he smirked and said to use the paved road. Sure enough there is a paved road that easily connects to 26. We're dolts. As for the garden, it is BEAUTIFUL. So many lovely bamboo plants in such a quiet, peaceful setting. Ned drove us around in a golf cart and showed us different plants. He really knows his stuff. He helped us select the best plant for our needs. We brought photos of our backyard on digital camera and he was very honest that we couldn't fit a bamboo into some of the spaces without the roots busting out of the retaining wall. We bought a Golden Crookstem Bamboo, or Phyllostachys aureosulcata "aureocaulis', for 65 bucks. The same plant at our local nursery is over $100. True, we had to drive past Hillsoboro to get it but it was worth it for the advice that went with it. Ned was very helpful and personable. They do request you call first and let them know you are coming so that they can have staff ready to assist you. It's not a place you can just wander around because it's huge so you want somebody to help you. Seriously, use the directions on the website. We had visions of breaking down and having our dessicated bodies found by the sheriffs on a fly-by looking for sneaky MJ growers. If you are on a gravel road for more than 200 feet, you went the wrong way. http://www.bamboogarden.com/ read more

Greatest selection of bamboo one will find around the Portland area. It is a bit of a drive but well worth it. The staff is well educated on the bamboo and will drive one around the 16 acres of bamboo fields. It is worth going out with a camera then spending a day taking pictures and walking around the farm. I had no idea there was so many varieties of bamboo from shrub to tree sizes with everything in between. read more

We want to thank Bamboo Garden for excellent customer care. We purchased 2 small plants and one of these plants did not make it. The warranty window on plants is 90 days and we were a couple of weeks past that window. We expected the business to remind us of the warranty policy, but decided to give it a try. What a pleasant surprise. They were most kind, said they understood our predicament and offered to replace the plant, which they did. What a wonderful experience. Thank you Bamboo Garden. read more

With terrific staff and a breathtaking setting, Bamboo Garden is the ultimate in a destination nursery. The amazing variety of bamboo species that they grow is just the start. You get a super golf cart tour from your incredibly informed guide/staff member and then you can wander through the groves to really experience the plants in a natural state. Once it came down to selecting individual specimens, our guide Adam was super patient, moving the pots in and out so we could see each one separately. He asked all the right questions about our needs and what the actual space requirements were, and then made some wonderful recommendations. We ended up purchasing 6 timber bamboo plants over 25 feet tall to form a screen. They were replacing some large trees that fell down and left our yard exposed to the uphill neighbors. We couldn't be more pleased with the result. In addition, and for a reasonable extra charge, the Bamboo Garden will arrange for delivery and installation. Nursery manager Noah recommended the proper soil for our space, then personally delivered the plants himself. He expertly guided them through our elaborately planted garden, under trees and through hedges without damaging any of the mature plantings! As others have posted, cross reference the directions on the website with your GPS. Ours got us there just fine, though there is a short section of gravel road at the end. Just remember, if you go, you will fall in love with this amazingly beautiful place. read more

The bamboo here is so beautiful. Everyone was happy to help, and they did a great job packing up the bamboo and loading it. We planted them in the ground over the summer, and they have been doing well. We purchased 15 plants, and it was worth the money. I would recommend going to Bamboo Garden and seeing their grounds. read more

I was amazed at the breadth in bamboo varieties at Bamboo Garden, and was really pleased to be directed to a type of Bamboo perfect for the place in my yard for creating a privacy screen. Beyond the excellent assortment, we received excellent insights from the team, then with their delivery we experienced even greater customer service as a few stalks were damaged in transit but replaced shortly thereafter. An absolutely excellent experience with this company, it's products and people. read more

The staff were friendly and courteous, in a word "nice." The item I purchased was better than I expected. And to use a word that is much overused these days, the garden's were "awesome." read more

We arrived close to closing but Peter still gave us the grand tour and helped us pick out fabulous bamboo. Loved the variety, service, and price read more

I have had it in my mind to write this review for a long time. I have purchased quite a bit of bamboo from these folks over the years, staring out at their old place and then following them to the new, much larger farm. I currently have about 5-6 varieties growing in my back yard, all of which were purchased at the The Bamboo Garden, it's true they have the most amazing variety. However I do have a problem that has been irritating me for a while. A few years back, I decided that I was missing a good variety of Black Bamboo and I trotted off to The Bamboo Garden to buy a good sized specimen. several months after planting it, I noticed a blotchy discoloration to many of the leaves of that plant, which I discovered was a Spider Mite. I called The Bamboo Garden since at the time that one new plant was the only one infected and I assumed that it must have come from the seller. They basically told me that it must have come in with the birds and it couldn't have come from them.They were of no help at all. Having Spider Mites in your bamboo feels a lot like having Herpes. It seems nearly impossible to get rid of and although it doesn't kill you, it keeps coming back. Maybe they were right and it just happened to fly in with the birds and infect the only new plant I had purchased in several years, but it seems pretty far fetched. All in all though, I felt like they were not willing to engage with me on the subject and was disappointed in their customer service. read more

Over 400 kinds of bamboo this place has anything you need, you can buy plants of any size/age. About 40 minutes from downtown and the last 5-6 minutes I lost cell phone reception/gps, but right when that happened there was signage to guide you the rest of the way. It's confusing when you first get there, not your normal nursery to wander around and buy from, so be sure to stop by the office (clearly marked) and have someone take you around on a golf cart. The staff are ridiculously knowledgeable and can help you find the correct bamboo for you. Beautiful location, incredible variety and excellent customer service; 5 stars for sure. read more

I'm thrilled with Bamboo Garden! I live in northern CA so had to order online/by phone. I called in on a Saturday and within minutes Jim called me back. He spent almost an hour helping me pick out plants that fit my conditions, price point and type of bamboo I was looking for. He was very patient, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and for a mere $260 I got 6 1 gal plants for my large planters and another for a pot, including shipping, which comes out to about $35/plant. Unlike many people who think it's a pest, I'm addicted to it. I love the way it sounds when the wind blows through it and I never get tired of looking at it. They have an incredible selection and they are so efficient at shipping the the plants arrived in a mere two days looking like I had just picked them up at a pricey local nursery. Their prices on barrier are exceptionally reasonable, lower than anyone else online, which is how I discovered them in the first place. Someday I'd love to visit and take a tour but I probably should win the lottery first. read more

I've mail-ordered flowering shrubs (not bamboo) several times for my home in New York and have had excellent results. Their plants are super-healthy, strong and ready to thrive. My mortality rate is 0 percent! I can't say that about other nurseries I've ordered from. Excellent quality and good prices will keep me coming back. read more

Very knowledge staff and very helpful. I will be returning. My bamboo is thriving. Incredible variety. read more

Visually pleasing plant nursery, knowledgable staff, wonderful selection of bamboo varieties. I came away very pleased with my purchases, repotted them, and they are taking off! It is a large place...a staff member took me around in a golf cart and I picked the plants that I wanted. I feel very lucky to have this local resource. read more

We ordered about a $1000.00 of plants from this firm, we carefully used their system to pick the ones that grow in our climate and area. Not a one of them actually grew. read more

Anna was very helpful in identifying "Tropical Scale" that has been worrying me since I noticed it. She really went out of her way and dug in to identify the issue. Top notch!! read more

They sure will make sure you feel great about your purchase before you buy. Then when you've spend a few hundred bucks and the bamboos they recommended for NY winters die the very first winter, well you are SOL. Supposedly what I purchased were "cold hardy" up to -10 degrees. Well the winter of 2014/2015 did not go down that low, but none the less all 5 plants I purchased from them died. I guess I should purchase from a more honest company. Even when Initially planted them, I saw not a single inch of growth, makes me wonder if these things were basically dead on arrival. read more

Update - still just as good as ever. The last time I went in, I was taken on a really extensive, super educational tour of so many different bamboos, it left my head spinning and I definitely know a lot more about bamboo than I ever did before. All of this and they had no idea if I was even going to make a purchase. Excellent customer service. THE spot for bamboo. read more

We drove out to the Bamboo Garden in search of bamboo for our pots o our patio. We were greeted upon arrival. The lady asked us a few questions about what we were looking for and the growing situation, then drove us out to get the bamboo from the nursery. She picked out the ones she thought were in the best shape. We are very pleased with our bamboo and the customer service. We decided we want one more. read more

WONDERFUL! Did all the research on their terrific website, got a prompt reply to our e-mailed response, enjoyed the drive there, and were welcomed and cared for like visiting potentates. All for a couple of five gallon plants! We're going back for more and telling all of our friends. read more

Extensive website. Placed a phone order of 6 pots of #5 black bamboo on 3/21. Delivered 2 days later (to Seattle) with UPS shipping. The bamboo plants are in good and healthy condition. The #5 plants range from about 6-7ft tall. They are bent around and shipped in shorted UPS boxes. The shipping packaging is excellent. A short guide for planting and taking care of bamboo was included. Exceptional business. Recommended my friends to check it out for their garden project. (didn't not visit the garden itself) read more
