Canada’s Bamboo World

We drove from False Creek to Chilliwack to check out these plants. They have massive inventory at the back of the greenhouse. We placed an average order — 12 pots of «Spectabilis» bamboo for our deck and was shipped in 3 days — free shipping if your order is over $ 500. We needed a good growth for privacy.
We were greeted by two young fellows who are very keen about bamboo. They answered all our questions. I think we stayed for over two hours trying to sort out which works best for our west coast weather. The customer service was exceptional, a great experience, I will definitely be ordering from them again.

Canada’s Bamboo World advertises itself as the #1 bamboo retailer/​wholesaler in Canada. I wouldn’t be too surprised if it was the only significant bamboo retailer/​wholesaler in Canada.
The retail location is a little bit out of the way, but Google maps finds it quickly. It’s just on the eastern outskirts of Chilliwack, off exit 123.
The website makes the shop seem bigger than it is. It’s basically one large-​ish greenhouse plus scattered rows of pots on the side. The backyard also has a few groves of bamboo.
We lucked out and they had the bamboo plant we wanted at 50% off. Plus the «Buy 2 or more, and get 10% off» meant that we got it for 60% off.
On an absolute scale, shipping seems expensive, but relative to its location and the rising cost of gasoline, I think it’s reasonable.
The staff seem quite knowledgeable and friendly.
