Events
The East Austin Studio Tours took place in November, and the Utility Research Garden was visited by hundreds of interested people, who wandered around and wondered if bamboo would take over the earth eventually.
In early December, David attended the First Mexican Bamboo Conference in Xalapa, Mexico. He gave a presentation about the bamboo business in the United States, and generally had a great time looking at bamboo in another country.
The Texas Nursery Landscape Expo will be held August 17-19, 2007, at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas.
The Texas Bamboo Society Bamboo Festival will be held at Zilker Botanical Garden, in Austin, TX on August 24 and 25, 2007. We’ll have a booth and sell plants. Zilker is beautiful and has lots of bamboo, so if you’ve never been, it’s a great opportunity to come see us and the park.
