During the two weeks of intersection, me and my partner did a beautiful fountain made out of bamboo. It took us one week to finish this project. First our techer bought us bamboo, then we sand it with sand paper because we did not like the way it was brought in to us, then with fine paper, and last we paint it with something special, to make it more shiny. This is how it came out:

Bamboo Fountain


Bamboo plants can be used for many different things, and my partner and I made this beautiful fountain.
Many people use bamboo plant to decorate their garden, hot tub, around the pool, etc. Also for good luck, like the Curly Bonzai Money Tree it will bring luck and fortune to any household, business or people you care.
Most large bamboos grow quicker and do their best in full sun. Bamboos are happiest in a moderately acidic loamy soil. If your soil is very heavy you can add organic material. Bamboos can be planted at any time of the year in areas with mild climates such as we have in the maritime Pacific Northwest. In colder parts of the world they should be planted outdoors early enough to become established and to harden off sufficiently to survive their first winter. Watering is more critical as bamboo does not like to dry out, nor it likes to be soggy.
