Begin with Bamboo

(page 4)

All of the bamboos described above and many more may be seen in a number of bamboo gardens in Europe. The largest and most impressive collection is in the Parc of Prafrance, Anduze, in the south of France, where real giant bamboos can be seen.

In Paris, at the Parc de in Villette, thirty species of bamboos grow closely together in a specially constructed valley creating a perfect microclimate.

The finest bamboo collection in the United Kingdom is to be seen in Kew Gardens, in London, where the first planting started in 1896.

Nowadays many public gardens in Europe have nice plantings of bamboo. Go and see them. Don't miss out on these highly recommended plants for every garden.
