PandovisionTM makes every garden look better than reality. Like the Old Masters' pictures.

It's funny, you see your garden every day, which makes it ordinary to you.

But everyone's garden is beautiful.

Geeze Dave, some giant stuff in there. Definitely a great looking palmy place.

Do you have to leave a trail of bread crumbs to find your way back to the mansion?

It seems DD must be in league with some dark forces.  No garden should look that good.

I watered it.

A lot. But sensibly.

That's unbelievable,

Dave, you created a paradise for a palm lover. You must be happy all day if you look into your garden. So many wonderful species and all look healthy and are going ti fruit.

My garden is only full of Yucca, some cacti and Trachycarpus fortunei. Maybe I should built a giant green house :crying:

Congrats Dave, your a degreed master of palms

I have had the pleasure of touring Dave's garden. It is awesome.  I remember him telling me he can see palms literally out of every window in his house. So cool !!!

I never get tired of looking at pictures of his garden as well as Ando's galleries.
