Part of our move toward the future must involve preserving our past. As such, preserving and centralizing access to as many of our publications as possible is a priority. We are currently attempting to collect as many of our publications as possible. Primarily, this centers around back issues of The Palmateer, but could also include publications that were not published in our aforementioned quarterly or exist only as paper documents. Many of our former board members, current members, and past meeting attendees are active on the PalmTalk forums or on Facebook. Effectively, this is an all call for assistance. If you have any of the following, please post them her…

PSSC's October 19, 2024 Banquet in El Cajon A few PSSC members have asked me why no meeting in September; the reason is that we're saving it up for a banquet in October.

On July 20, 2024, the PSSC is having its July meeting at two gardens in Orange County: the gardens of Steven Velez in Westminster and Larry and Sue Black, in Fountain Valley. Both gardens are noteworthy for being great palm gardens on 1/6-acre suburban lots, yet each has been done with an opposite approach. And both are spectacular. If you have a small yard and want to see some serious possibilities, or even go wild with a larger yard, do come join us. Garden No. 1, the Steve Velez garden, is located at 15461 Devonshire Circle, Westminster, CA 92683. It’s a couple streets north of Mile Square Park.

Everyone: I am pleased to announce that our May 18, 2024 PSSC meeting will be at two gardens in northern San Diego County, the adjoining homes and gardens of Dorian Ouer and Scott Leonard, Encinitas, CA. Ouer Garden: On the south side of the street at 455 Naiad, this garden was started decades ago by Dorian Ouer's father, Dean Ouer, who heads up the International Palm Society's "Palm Talk" website. After son Dorian acquired the property in 2005, he picked up the torch and ran with it. It's one of those gardens you run out of superlatives to describe. There's a combination of variety and age that's hard to beat: mature Chrysalidocarpus (Dypsis) decipiens, Prest…
