Bamboo Pipeline Announces LandSense(SM) Plants: Plants That Make Sense for California Landscapes

More Than 400 Plants That Are Low-Water Use, Sustainable, Attractive and Readily-Available to Help Landscape Professionals Design and Install Low-Water Use, Eco-Friendly Landscape Projects

CAMARILLO, CA--(Marketwire - September 23, 2009) - Bamboo Pipeline today announced that, in collaboration with an expert panel of California's leading environmental landscape architects, they have assembled a broad database of plants, shrubs and trees that they recommend as eco-friendly options as a growing number of landscape professionals design and install water conserving, sustainable landscapes that are also beautiful.

The LandSense(SM) plant palette is available, at no cost, to any landscape professional simply by registering as a user at www.BambooPipeline.com. "As California's broadest and most complete distributor of plants to landscape professionals, it is only natural that we take a lead to help the industry navigate through the complex challenge of designing in low-water use, sustainable and eco-friendly plant material," says Matt Fay, President of Bamboo Pipeline. "Our web site displays plant items from our database of over 10,000 plant varieties that we sell and ship directly to job sites throughout California and Nevada. A landscape professional can easily identify those plants that we, and our expert panel, have designated as either LandSense(SM) plants or simply low-water use plants. The professional can then customize their own plant list best suited for their locale and the specific needs of their customer."

Dirk Gaudet, ASLA, Los Angeles, added, "With a larger selection of climate appropriate and native plant material provided by nurseries today, along with the greater demand to reduce water use and increase sustainability, the LandSense(SM) plant palette is a great reference, not only for plant types, but also for confirming availability from a wide reach of nursery growers."
