Ever cry yourself to sleep believing you will never see such a thing in your life, without paying a fortune in air fare for a trip to the South Pacific? Well, put away your crying towel, bring your portable swooning chaise lounge and come to the meeting at Mr…

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…

Palm Beach Palm & Cycad Society Annual Spring Sale - April 8th & 9th, 2017 The society is having their Spring Sale this weekend. The fall sale from last year was cancelled due to Hurricane Matthew, so there is a heightened vibe surrounding this sale. Vendors and Society members are expecting a larger than usual crowd. Jeff and myself will be there along with a selection of vendors, the total number of which I do not know as of yet, but it is possibly more than usual. This might equal a larger than average selection of palm material, including one of the largest selections of cycads around. I know of a few familiar palm people that will be attendin…
