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…

OUR MAY 20, 2023 MEETING IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN We have not forgotten about you-all in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles Counties! During the Covid pandemic, LA and Riverside and San Bernardino Counties had difficulty managing protocols and it was evident that planning meetings in places like them was risky because there was no telling whether or not a county directive might have required us to call off the meeting at the last moment because of a spike in cases. Orange and San Diego had managed to avoid crises, at least most of the time. Our goal is to get back out with a vengeance. This is the start. If you have a …
