   Re-posted by permission from Matt Encinosa: "Mrs. Doris Smith has invited us to visit her late husband Dent Smith's palm garden in Daytona.

While Dent was successful in growing palms Doris tells me that since his death hurricanes and hard freezes have reduced the numbers quite a bit. Ed Brown in his nice article with photos in the March issue of "Palms--Journal of the International Palm Society" says there are still a good number …

    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.
