The Society was formed by Michael Hirsh in 1985,
and was called The Bamboo Network. It amalgamated
with other European societies in 1986, and was renamed The
European Bamboo Network in order to differentiate it
from the Australian Bamboo network. In 1989, the European Bamboo
Network reverted to its former regional basis, and the British
society was renamed The Bamboo Society (EBS Great Britain).
The Society is affiliated to The
Royal Horticultural Society.
