Bamboo Garden
Bamboo Plants
Planting in the Ground or in Containers
Whatever type, size, or design of garden you have there are plenty of bamboo plants to choose from, approximately 1,000 species and 91 genera! This huge number of species means that you can't fail to find some to suit your ideas for your bamboo garden with different species being suited to different conditions such as climate and soil.
Some bamboo species are suitable to grow in containers as well as in the ground. If you don't want to plant your new bamboo out just yet, are undecided as to where to site it in the garden, or if you are like me and like to move your plants around to get a different feel occasionally, bamboo in pots is an excellent idea!
I have a page dedicated to care of bamboo plants which provides detail on planting and maintenance. More.... Caring for Bamboo Plant.
I also have a page dedicated to planting bamboos, see Plant Bamboo.
Ornamental Bamboo

Groundcover
Bamboos make excellent garden ground cover, container, or accent plants. Ground covering plants help to retain moisture in the soil, can be used for landscaping and erosion control, as under planting, and to cover steep ground. There are many varieties of dwarf bamboo that are excellent for these purposes. Please see my section dedicated to Dwarf Bamboo for more information and a species list.
Hedge
Bamboo garden hedges can be impressive and can be cut or trimmed in the same way as you would do with traditional hedging plants. Follow this link for a list of suitable species and detailed information about bamboo hedging
Privacy Screen
Bamboos can easily be cultivated into garden privacy screens and can be cut or trimmed to achieve the desired outcome that compliments your garden design. The main difference between a privacy screen and a hedge is that screens are taller whereas hedges are much shorter and generally more formal in appearance. For more detail and a list of suitable species have a browse through my page dedicated to screens.
Windbreak
Bamboos are ideal for domestic garden or commercial windbreaks and can be cultivated, cut, trimmed... or harvested. For detailed information on windbreaks please see my dedicated page that includes; wind force reduction, flexibility, root mass, stability, benefits, cultivation and suitable species. More...

Container Bamboo
Some bamboo species are suitable to grow in containers if you don't want to put them in the ground. This is an excellent idea, particularly if you are worried about the plant spreading, and it also provides a way of moving everything around in the garden now and then to create a different environment. I have bamboos and several large trees in pots too! Please visit my page that focuses on Container Bamboo
