Participants will have the chance to learn about bamboo growing, management, propagation, and harvesting. The seminar will also discuss bamboo processing and utilization, as well as the Lending Program of the Land Bank of the Philippines.

The bamboo seminar is priced at P2,400 for each participant and will take place on October 19, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Carolina Bamboo Garden in Sitio Tanza II, Barangay San Jose, Antipolo City.

The Carolina Bamboo Garden also held a bamboo seminar back in March.

Aside from the bamboo seminar, participants may visit the garden's interactive bamboo museum, bamboo treatment and bamboo propagation areas, the bambusetum, a butterfly garden, a one-of-a-kind bahay kubo, and more.

Carolina Bamboo Garden launched in 2000 and houses both indigenous and exotic varieties of plants. It also serves as a venue for conducting research on the various aspects of bamboo production and utilization.

A project of the Majent Foundation and the Ecosystem Research Development Bureau (ERDB), Carolina Bamboo Garden aims to help create an ecologically balanced environment through the propagation and distribution of exotic and indigenous bamboo seedlings.

A total of 45 bamboo species have been collected and cultivated in the garden.
