SFPS Spring Garden Tour Today, I became aware of the South Florida Palm Society's upcoming Spring Garden Tour. I figured the notification and the related information should be posted here on Palmtalk. It sounds as if there will be a large attendance. In addition to the South Florida Palm Society membership, they are expecting attendees from the Palm Beach Palm & Cycad Society and the Tropical Flowering Tree Society. The following is from the society's homepage: Link: http://www.southfloridapalmsociety.org/index.shtml The South Florida Palm Society is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to disseminate information about and encourage int…

Spring Garden Tour Croton Meeting & Auction Saturday, April 6th, 2019 Cooper City, S. Florida The next Croton 'Group' Meeting and Auction has been combined with the S. Florida-based Spring Garden Tour. It will take place at a popular and well-known garden, consisting of a vast Palm, Croton and tropical plant collection. I believe most of the plants for the Auction will be Croton cultivars, including some extremely rare ones, but I think any plant may show up. The auctioned plants support the donor, as there isn't an actual Croton Society anymore. Trading and personal sales among plant fanatics is popular among the attendees. There is usually…

SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 2019 TWO GARDENS IN POWAY, CA BOARD MEETING, TOURS AND AUCTION POTLUCK LUNCH, BRING A DISH Our next meeting of the PSSC will be Saturday, 23March, 2019. Both gardens are in Poway, about 20 minutes north of San Diego off Fwy 15. Both have a “wilderness” feel to them as Poway is a rural community.

The Marikas moved to Poway in 1984. At that time, Poway Road was only a 2 lane country road off I-15 freeway. Beeler Creek flows through their proper…

PSSC November 17, 2018 meeting

Everyone, I'm thrilled to announce the PSSC's next meeting in Anaheim Hills, Orange County, on November 17, 2018. Space. The final frontier, even (especially!) if you have a palm garden. Your palmy artistic ambition often exceeds the physical dimensions at your disposal. Most of us find ourselves, sooner or later, measuring in feet to avoid being too close to a property line, or encroaching on something else, or, heaven forbid, interfering with utility wires. We find, fall in love, then try to shoe-horn it in. If we can. Now imagine a garden that seems divorced from such piddling concerns, with two acres of reasonably level land. A garden where its owner falls …

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! Don's garden is on an "estate-size" lot in one of the very best climates in Southern California. Ocean nearby, out of the tsunami zone, never too hot, humidity to fool the tropicals, so much to love. Don started his garden about 7 years ago, so there's nothing towering overhead. Yet. But there will be, and in th…

Both gardens are in La Jolla (an area of San Diego) and neither has ever been toured by our group. The first garden is at the Home of Mark Tarpin.

My collection did not become extensive until I moved into my current residence which I have been in for approximately 30 years. After traveling to many tropical countries …
