Educational tour clip by Jeannie Ferrara, Thy Word Public Relations. STUART, FL -- On Saturday, April 20, 2013, from 9:00a -- 2:00p...due to popular demand after last year's successful, educational event New Shoots Bamboo Nursery once again opened their doors to hundreds of Treasure Coast residents, and welcomed all to tour their newly renovated facilities. The nursery invited all to come out and enjoy good food, great music, bamboo craft exhibitions, and much more to benefit the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center (TCWC)! For one-day only, the 40-acre facility shared their mission to provide quality varieties and quantities of eco-friendly, clumping bamboo to local and international landscapers and homeowners. Featuring over 60 varieties, the nursery is one of the best-kept secret havens in Martin County! Guests were able to learn more about bamboo, experts were on-hand to answer questions, and shared with all why non-invasive, clumping bamboo is the premier renewable resource - the fastest growing plant on this planet, critical element in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, why bamboo is a great wood replacement, natural & controllable barrier, has a versatile and fast growing cycle, is an essential material for earthquake architecture, is a renewable resource for agro-forestry production, is used as an ancient medicine, serves as inspiration to arts and culture, as well as a critical element to national economies. Many thanks to all of the vendors, staff, and volunteers that made this event such a success.
