It's that time again! Our March, 2011 meeting, on March 23, 2011. Be there, or be square . . . . This is a 21-year-old garden, entering its prime. Gregg Hamann, our host, started back in 1990 with a few Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, but he didn't stop there. The Hamann garden now has 401 different species of palms (species, not plants), including many Madagascan and New Caledonian species. Unlike many other gardens, the Hamann garden is unique for its use of relatively rare species for its canopy. There are literally scores of outstanding specimen palms in this garden.
