Bountiful Earth, Inc. was established in late 2002 by Chuck & Michelle Theroux. Chuck has had a long fascination with bamboo, but only recently had the time to pursue his hobby which has now turned into an enterprise. Basically, the business was started to support his bamboo buying habit turned obsession. After only 18 months, a collection of over 80 varieties has been acquired. Michelle has had a long time affinity towards natural chemical free products for herself, the home and garden. In Dec 2002, we happened upon a tiny store for sale with enough property to support a small display of bamboo. This was perfect for Chuck to sell his bamboo and Michelle to sell natural products.Voila'......BOUNTIFUL EARTH was born. Besides bamboo, we now carry Native American style flutes (another Chuck passion/obsession), Chuck is now creating some of our fine flutes crafted in bamboo and hardwoods. We also carry Native American gifts, a full line of Burt's Bees Products as well as essential oils, natural soaps, earth friendly cleaning products, gifts and even some primitive instruments. There's always something new at BOUNTIFUL EARTH!
Mission
We feel we are doing a service to our community as well as the world environment by providing items to our customers that are "Earth friendly" as well as being "Human Friendly".
Bamboo plants are the other specialty items we carry. Our emphasis is in non-invasive clumping bamboo varieties, Although, we carry a few bamboo "runners" for customers with plenty of property. Bamboo is the Earth's fastest growing woody plant. If you want to establish a quick barrier or screen, this is the plant for you. If you like shade but have fear of the Florida high winds, bamboo actually protects buildings rather than damages them. Bamboo doesn't fall like a large tree is apt to. Bamboo is also very "Earth friendly" due to the favorable oxygen carbon dioxide exchange. Bamboo is the most widely used plant in the world due to its versatility in the building and crafts fields. Its beauty is only matched by its usefulness. At Bountiful Earth, we have bamboos that grow from a one foot ground cover to hundred foot giants. Check out our available list or our collection list for more information and pictures.
At this time, we are not shipping bamboo. Bamboo is available 5 days per week at the store - Tuesday - Sat 10am to 5 pm.
