Specializing in clumping and running bamboo. We are also a registered bamboo arboretum.
"In 2010 we hired Alain Flexer, owner of Bamboo Nursery in Franklinton, La, to plant bamboo in our yard. We're very sorry we did. We told Alain what we wanted and he recommended a running variety. (Put very simply, there are two types of bamboo, clumping and running. Google it) Running bamboo is notorious for sending out roots that will take over a yard. “Expert” Alain said he would put down a barrier that would prevent the bamboo from spreading. He charged more for the barrier than the bamboo. In less than ten years the barrier failed and the bamboo took over the yard. Every spring, hundred of new bamboo shoots would pop up in the yard. I asked Alain for advice. He said to kill the new shoots with herbicide. What a joke. For every one we'd kill, several more would pop up. It was bamboo whack-a-mole. None of the cheap, easy options worked. We had to bite the bullet and hire a landscaping company to remove the bamboo and dig up the ENTIRE YARD. This has cost THOUSANDS - far more than the original cost of placing the worthless barrier and planting the bamboo. Furthermore, some of the bamboo grew under the concrete porch, and no matter how much herbicide I use, it continues to grow from under the porch. I wonder if I'll ever completely get rid of it. Alain's incompetence cost us thousands of dollars. (It's still an on-going project). If you're in the market for bamboo, look elsewhere. J. Paul New Orleans, LA"

Greenhouse and nursery services FAQs
Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.
Garden nurseries offer many plants to make your home and garden flourish. In-container plants are one option, including perennials, annuals, and small shrubs or trees. Large hedge plants and roses are called bare-root plants, meaning they have not been potted. Finally, you will see some burlapped plants, typically larger trees and shrubs with burlap wrapping around the bottom.
The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.
If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:
Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season.
Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring.
Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.
Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location
Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
