Let’s Begin the Fall with Bamboo!

By Bamboo Grove on August 10, 2023

While the unofficial marker for the end of summer, Labor Day weekend, is still more than a month away, the fall season is already in full swing for corporate big-box retailers and local coffee shops as back-to-school supplies and pumpkin spice lattes made their annual appearances on store shelves in late July.

At Bamboo Grove, we love any reason to mix a bit of bamboo into our everyday lives, and with the changing of the seasons right around the corner, we thought it would be a nice idea to brainstorm a few different ways to use bamboo for the plethora of upcoming holidays, sporting events, and other exciting celebrations taking place during the fall.

What’s your very favorite thing to do on a crisp, autumn day? Is it sipping hot apple cider with friends while picking out your favorite pumpkin at the patch? Setting up spooky Halloween decorations and visiting local haunted houses? Attending fantasy football drafts and World Series parties? Cooking traditional Thanksgiving dishes with a kitchen full of your loved ones? You may be wondering what this all has to do with bamboo. Our point is that regardless of how you welcome the wonderful fall season, it’s much easier than you think to transition from traditional party supplies to eco-friendly bamboo products.

We’ll paint the picture for you: Your guests arrive at your beautifully-decorated home but instead of the typical plastic streamers and paper place settings, they’re greeted with hand-crafted customized bamboo nameplates, utensils, cocktail napkins, and other party favors. You’ll be the talk of the town! And while this all might sound expensive, there are plenty of hobby shops with affordable bamboo items for DIY projects and ready-to-display decorations. Popular options include:

• Bamboo flower vases
• Bamboo wind chimes & hanging mobiles
• Bamboo silverware & cutlery
• Small bamboo planters
• Bamboo plates & cups
• A bamboo crafting table for the kiddos
• Bamboo charcoal & cutting boards for cook-outs
