Palm Society of Southern California The PSSC’s March 2014 Meeting The March 2014 PSSC meeting was held at two gardens in Orange County. One was that of Ralph Velez, one of the founding members of the Palm Society of Southern California and the other was at Palm Island located at Mile Square Park. Ralph’s was the first stop of the day. If you're a long-time PSSC member, this garden really needs no introduction. But, in case you're not, we’ll give you one anyway. Ralph started his garden back about 1962, which makes it over 50 years old. Talk about maturity, Wow!
