Well positioned rocks, sand, flowing water and the gentle clacking sound from a bamboo water feature go a long way in creating elegance and serenity in Japanese Gardens.
Actually, the first time I saw a moving Shishi Odoshi (Japanese for "Deer Scarer") bamboo fountain was when I was 9, at a local nursery. Not only was it beautiful sitting alongside a pebbled handmade pond, it had a profound impact on the deer as I couldn't see any, in metropolitan Melbourne, for miles.
It was towards the end of last year, when I was down the back admiring some of dad's bamboo, I remembered again that display fountain and thought it would make a great feature set amongst this landscape. So I went back to the local nursery ... and they were discontinued, then I tried the Internet..."Your search returned 0 items" - and so I decided to make my own!
Now Bamboo Grove's bamboo water features are handmade, quality tested and products of Australia!
So whether you are creating a Japanese Garden for your family or interested in gaining some tranquility handmade for your home - we are confident you will find something within our selection to relieve stress, soothe the atmosphere and (because of our prices) enjoy greater prosperity.
Happy times in 2012, year of the water dragon.
