The ABS was formed in 1979 and today we have over 1100 members living throughout the US and in 39 other countries. The ABS issues a bimonthly Magazine and a Journal to disseminate information about the use, care, propagation and beauty of bamboo. We sponsor lectures, conferences, tours and plant sales in the Chapter areas.
Chapters maintain bamboo libraries, distribute publications and donate plants to public gardens.
