   August 19th, 2018 1330 Albina Ave, Berkeley, CA Scott and Cyndi Stanfield welcome you to their home and palm garden in North Berkeley.

   Mark your calendar, November 15th, the PSSC will be holding a garden picnic in Holmby Hills at the home of Drew Zager. This is a marvelous exercise in landscaping transformation where pre-existing is meshed with a heavy touch of the tropics. Drew Zager is the son of PSSC Board Member Bud Zager. Fittingly, the theme of busy lives is "Palms Brought Us Together". The history of this estate in Drew's words: In early 2000, I bought my home in Holmby Hills (west of Beverly Hills - east of Westwood) in a probate sale. The house was in complete disrepair and had been vacant for over two years with no running water. However, the house was paneled with thick Philippine…

    Hi all, After a couple of quick chats between FM Bencassa and myself an little idea has surfaced and I thought I would gauge any potential interest? We thought it might be a nice thing if there was an ( annual ? ) gathering of interested Aussie palmtalkers? A little mini biennial type thing. Perhaps a different city and a different botanical garden somewhere in Oz each year? It would be nice to put some more faces to names and do some real life palm talking. I think it would probably be a pretty informal type affair and spouses etc would be more than welcome. Is I said it was a bit of a thought bubble but worth investigating further we thought?? Any interest for …
