Everyone, we are pleased to announce that the PSSC's meeting on May 17, 2025 will be in Seal Beach, Orange County, in two gardens, by the sea. One is older, the other is relatively new. The last time the older garden (Snyder's) hosted a PSSC meeting was in the 1990s, about 30 years ago. Garden No. 1: Home and garden of Kenny Lam, 4741 Ironwood Ave, Seal Beach, CA 90740. Mr. Lam has been growing palms at his current location for 13 years.

Palm Society of Southern California The PSSC’s March 2014 Meeting The March 2014 PSSC meeting was held at two gardens in Orange County. One was that of Ralph Velez, one of the founding members of the Palm Society of Southern California and the other was at Palm Island located at Mile Square Park. Ralph’s was the first stop of the day. If you're a long-time PSSC member, this garden really needs no introduction. But, in case you're not, we’ll give you one anyway. Ralph started his garden back about 1962, which makes it over 50 years old. Talk about maturity, Wow! Ralph’s garden is a treasure trove of rare and exotic palms, many of which were the first of their kinds i…
