Bamboo Giant Nursery & Gardens
Visit the Bamboo Giant Nursery & Gardens website
Running a bamboo nursery and garden has been our joy for 25+ years. With minimal marketing, traffic is largely word-of-mouth—and there’s significant upside for a new owner. We have virtually no regional competition and specialize in giant plants with strong margins. Inventory depth supports substantial sales growth.
