This  blog is about our little garden in Richmond Annex on border of El Cerrito, CA. I started putting in bamboos last year and got inspired. There is something strange and endearing about bamboos. I call it a mini garden since the space is pretty small for the effect I want to create. What I want is a tropical bamboo garden as well as vegetables and fruit trees, specimen plants, nice perennials, and a few showy annuals.
