It's in our nature as human beings to want to have a beautiful garden at home. Our very own private sanctuary – a space where we can relax and unwind, entertain and have children play safely. To achieve this, people want fast growing, evergreen screening plants that will provide instant privacy - because let's face it, no one likes a nosy neighbour.

Unfortunately, with the size of suburban gardens getting smaller and smaller, home owners are often faced with narrow spaces between properties and fence lines. These areas often require plants with non-invasive roots and significant height to create a barrier of privacy from neighbours or the road. Pair this with challenging growing conditions, and the desire for a fast growing screening plant that is frost, sun, wind and shade tolerant and simple to maintain, and it's easy to see how many people succumb to defeat in the search of a plant solution for these areas. It's a modern day garden dilemma for so many and a problem we here at South Island Bamboo knew we could solve.

Our team has always been drawn towards garden design and gardening, eventually leading us down the garden path (pun intented) to start a plant nursery dedicated to one plant - Bambusa textilis var. Gracilis (Slender Weaver’s Bamboo). This plant is the perfect screening solution for properties both large and small. There is no other plant that will screen a two-storey building in a narrow footprint in a short space of time.

It is the ultimate solution for maintaining privacy within modern day gardens.
A solution we want to share with you.
