Bamboo enhances and transforms gardens into peaceful sanctuaries of light, movement, sound and space, touching our spirits and stirring our souls. Bamboo can beguile and possess. You may shortly find yourself becoming ensnared with "Bamboo Magic." Gerald Bol |
With these words, we introduce you to the spirit of this most remarkable bamboo nursery. There is no doubt that bamboo captivated the late Gerald Bol, creator of this beautiful bamboo forest; and you may indeed feel its magic working on you. The grounds of Bamboo Sourcery are a sight to behold and an exceptional resource for the discriminating collector and bamboo novice alike. Gerald traveled extensively throughout the world, studying and collecting rare and endangered bamboo species, and introduced many new varieties into the U.S. His diligent efforts are represented throughout the nursery, where there are more than 300 varieties in total, about 200 regularly in stock for purchase, with this number growing each year. The 8-acre demonstration gardens are a pleasure to tour, quite peaceful with the breeze blowing gently through the delicate leaves. Bamboo varieties can range in size from a few inches tall to giant timbers over 100 feet, with many variations in cane color, leaf size and shape. You will see an unbelievable range of full-grown bamboos on your walk through the gardens, and swear that you have found your favorite...until you round the next bend. The retail bamboo nursery and gardens, located in Sonoma County an hour's drive north of San Francisco, are open to all by appointment. Our beautiful and unique demonstration gardens and expert advice will enable homeowners and landscapers alike to select the best varieties for your needs, be they clumping or running, rare and exotic, ornamental, or excellent species for privacy screens. If you wish to visit the nursery, please call ahead Monday through Saturday to schedule an appointment at (707) 823-5866 (appointment days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday). Or you may prefer to mail order plants through this website. Plants may be shipped anywhere within the U.S., and we also deliver throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Please see the Guide to our Website & Nursery, below, for more information.
Bamboo Sourcery has been working with homeowners and landscape professionals for over 25 years, growing, selling, and containing bamboos. For more about our history, expertise, and our founder, Gerald Bol, please see About Us.
