by Leonard Goldstein- 0 replies

While southern Florida's climate allows us to grow tropical flora that hobbyists in most of the rest of the country can enjoy only through photos, our many seaports make it fairly easy for plant diseases to enter the state. To stay on top of what's affecting some palms here, plan to attend Dr. Monica Elliott's program, "Palm Disease Updates on the Top Three Diseases in Florida," to be presented at the October 5 general meeting of the South Florida Palm Society. Dr. Elliott is Professor and Acting Co-Director of the Ft. Lauderdale Research and Education Center of IFAS.

The Jackson Grant Garden 16 Brookwood Ln. , Ross Story Behind the Garden We bought the house, our starter, in 1980, moving from potted plants on a Russian Hill fire escape to a real garden. Palms were our favorites. We did test plantings for a few years as we worked out a planting plan. About that time we met Herb Weber and our knowledge of palm trees and the International Palm Society took a giant leap forward. The flood of January 1982 changed all plans. Bridge road was washed out and rebuilt, higher than before. Our construction started in the mid 1980s with the glass house, concrete terraces and retaining wall on Bridge road. Then the house remodel…

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…
