Fall Is Here
It’s that time of year again.  The air is crisp, leaves are falling, and it’s a good time to tidy up your bamboo plantings.  Raking leaves and other debris from around the base of your plants gets rid of hiding places for bugs and fungi.  Then bed your plants down with a layer of fresh mulch.  Now is a good time to check the perimeter of your planting bed.  If it has a barrier, check for any rhizomes trying to leap over and cut them off.  If there is no barrier, check the edge line with a pick to detect any errant rhizomes and cut them off with a sharp shovel or loppers.

Fall is also a great time to plant, and we have some outstanding bargains on bamboo plants.  Stop by and check them out.

Thatch Tiki Bar

The owner of "Pour"  wine bar challenged us to create the best Tiki bar in Portland. We transformed a blank space with four bare walls into an environment that transports you to the tropics the moment you enter.

The perfect respite from our cloudy weather, Thatch Tiki Bar is located at 2733 NE Broadway. Thatch is open from 4:00 pm to late, seven days a week. Visit them to see an example of our work and to enjoy the hospitality and cuisine of the islands. Almost all materials and accessories you see at Thatch are available at Bamboo Craftsman Company.
