Learning People and Plants with Hawthorn Singapore: Bamboo

Do you know that the Bamboo plant belongs to the grass species?


[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Bamboo mostly grows in tropical countries, so majority of the bamboo in the world is found in South Asia and the southern region of China. The bamboo is hollow inside, therefore it is light and easy to transport in bulk. Bamboo is a very stable plant because of its roots and its fibrous structure, which is dense and strong.

The Chinese and Malays use bamboos in their daily lives. The Chinese believe that bamboo symbolizes virtue, people’s souls, and emotions. On the other hand, the Malays believe it symbolises grace and strength. Bamboos are widely used in both cultures as building materials, decorations, and kitchen utensils. It is also used to feed pandas.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Based on our research, bamboo can grow rapidly because of its chemical compounds. Some species of bamboo may even grow by up to 91 cm within a 24hour period.

On overall, the Gardens by the Bay trip gave us a lot of information regarding plants. We were all very happy, because we got along well with our classmates, both inside and outside class.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

It’s fascinating how plants like hawthorn can teach us about patience and growth. Kind of like how a bright white screen can feel overwhelming at first, nature reminds us to slow down and take things step by step.
