Bamboo Garden

Bounded on each side by a dense vegetation, Pender Path meanders through nearly a dozen different species of tropical clumping bamboos. Bamboo shoots may grow as much as 40 inches per day during their two-month growth period, and then stay the same size for decades. Giant Bamboo, the largest member of the grass family, was planted at the gardens by Marie Selby.
