Hello, everyone:

Our September 21, 2013 PSSC meeting is going to be in the Point Loma section of San Diego.

Our next Society meeting will be in the Point Loma district of coastal San Diego. These two gardens are only a few minutes apart. Both are established gardens where many unusual and rare species will be seen. There will be an auction and raffle at the second garden. This
will be a POTLUCK meeting, so bring a dish to share with others at garden #2, the Willoughby garden. There will be chairs for the general meeting. Water and soft drinks will be offered at a nominal charge.

GARDEN NUMBER ONE: Home of John Collom at 4370 Santa monica Ave, San Diego, 92107. John's garden is about twenty years old and has both mature palm trees and cycads. It is unique in that the garden is all you see from the street with his home way in the back of the yard. He has attractive Hedycscepe, Roystonea, Pritchardias and a very niceLivistona saribus. And, there's lots of cycads, some mature and in cone. His garden demonstrates what a little planning and time will provide.

GARDEN NUMBER TWO: Home of Dennis and Laura Willoughby at 4438 Pescadero Ave, San Diego 92107. Dennis started his garden in 1990 and he presently has about 260 species of palms growing. When you visit, make sure you get a look at his Acanthophoenix rubra, which is thirty feet tall, the Dypsis bejoufa which is one of the biggest around, and hisArenga hookeriana with its eight foot leaves! In fact, Dennis has some palms that even stump
the experts and no one is quite sure what they are. You'll love this garden.

ITINERARY:

9:30 AM: Board of Directors Meeting
11 AM: General Members arrive at the Collom residence and tour the garden.
12:15 PM: Depart the Collom garden and go to the Willoughby Garden. Bring your food item.
12:30 PM: Potluck lunch. Tables and chairs will be available
1:00 PM: Tour the Willoughby Garden
2:15PM: Begin General Meeting. Announcements, Auction and Raffle
3:00 PM: Meeting adjourns

NOTE:
Point Loma is near the very west end of Freeway 8 at the ocean, just south of Ocean Beach. But, to get there, you must follow directions below as some freeway 5 and 8 interchanges don't exist!

DIRECTIONS FROM THE NORTH TO GARDEN #1, COMING SOUTH ON FREEWAY 5

Continue to follow Sea World Dr, going slightly to the left to stay on Sea World Dr In a few miles, watch for the exit and stay to the right to get onto Sunset Cliffs Blvd Continue on Sunset Cliffs road through the commercial district of Ocean Beach Turn left on Santa Monica Ave and go up the hill to 4370 Santa Monica Ave.

DIRECTIONS FROM THE SOUTH TO GARDEN #1 ON FREEWAY 5

I think a "must attend" meeting :D

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Oh, do go.

Mark your calendars.

Make room in your schedules. Cash in a few favors with your sig other, and kids. (Park 'em at the beach?)

And go see Point Loma. Rhymes with coma, Soma, stoma and MOMA.

Note Troy from Tassie's very timely post about his visit in May of this year. Imagine how lovely to go to the beach and see palms on a blistering hot So-Cal day.

These sound like some great gardens and are close to me. Maybe I'll start doing some honey do's right now to have free time on that day. I'm a IPS member but have never been to a meeting. This might sound dumb but do I need to bring any IPS ID to get in?


Thanks!

This isn't the IPS, this is the PSSC, and you don't need no steenkin' ID, and you don't even need to be a member . . .

Just come! To the meeting! :rolleyes:

You will be welcomed in a bastion of extreme palminess.

Partake of the potluck!

Bid at the auction!

Say howdy! (I'll likely be wearing the Red Shoes . . . )

C-yA!

So, who else is coming?

This might be the big event of the year! Maybe even bigger than the banquet.

I've been whipping everyone into a frenzy. Dr. Phil has ordered 125 chairs!
