Abstract: Bamboo is one of the earliest plants used in landscaping. It has been highly valued and widely applied in traditional Chinese gardens for its beautiful figure, elegant artistic conception, wide fitness and some other functions. In modern landscape, the environmental conditions are more complicated, the functional demands are more diverse and the aesthetic consciousness is to some extent different from what it used to be.

Investigation shows that bamboo can be found in almost every private garden in the city of Suzhou.

In Japan, bamboo is considered divine, bamboo gardens are regarded as refined places just like stone gardens and tea gardens. Bamboo is seldom seen in traditional western gardens partly because of the lack of natural distribution of bamboo in Europe, partly because the lack of bamboo culture there.
