Dear PSSC members (AND EVERYONE ELSE), I'm pleased to announce that the September 15, 2018 meeting, potluck, and auction will be held at the home and garden of Don Tollefson, at 935 Coeur d'Alene Avenue, Venice, California, in Los Angeles County. Don is a board member of the PSSC, and has been a stalwart nut since I joined in 1993, and before. 25 years-plus!

Hi Everyone, regarding tomorrow’s BPACS outing... The August outing is to Roma St Parklands, a very short walk from the Brisbane CBD. The parklans contains a great collection of plants, including many exotic palms. Arno King has alerted us to the fact that this weekend is also 'Parks Alive ' at Roma St - the biggest event there for the year. This will impact on parking availability, so it may be best to try and park away from Roma St and then walk/bus/train to the parklands to avoid parking frustration. We will still continue with the tour at 10:00am , so to make sure you are there on time, please factor in the additional parking/travel time. Greg Smith has kindly…
