KOO-KOO FOR COCONUTS? If you even looked at this post, you know you are! Don’t miss The Palm Society of Southern California's November 21, 2015 meeting in Palm Desert and Coachella! We will be meeting for the first time at two gardens, one of which features a maturing Cocos nucifera. This is at the home and garden of Greg Curdes, at 59905 Avenida Bermudas, La Quinta, CA 92253. Greg planted his coconut in a garden enclosed by a wall and near a pool. The coconut is about 20 feet tall. It's not some anemic excuse, but a bodacious specimen. The next garden will be at the home and garden of PSSC member Danny Lopez, at 48329 Agua Caliente Street, Coachella, CA 92236. Mr. Lo…

The Louisiana Palm and Cycad Society had an educational and sales booth at the New Orleans Botanical Garden's fall show last weekend. The society won two awards, one for design and one for education but I don't know where they placed in these categories. The usual group of Ken (past president), Reed and Jayanne (VP) set-up the booth Friday afternoon. I think Ken has helped set-up for every show (spring and fall) for at least the last ten years! Here are Ken and Jayanne Saturday morning. Craig and I came by after the game to help break down the booth. Rod (president) and Suzanne (treasurer) also helped.

Sunday, October 9, 2011 Jim Denz Garden Time: 1:00 PM Location: 1085 Highland Circle Los Altos, CA The Jim Denz Garden, on 1/4 acre property, was started in earnest soon after the "big freeze" of December 1990.

Over the years 90 additional species of palm…

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…

Howdyall, and it's that time again. Two great gardens in Surf City, USA, aka as Huntington Beach, Orange County Saturday September 20, 2014 Our next meeting will be in Huntington Beach at the homes of Alex Kutas and Carl Hartman.

This should be an exceptionally interesting meeting as both gardens are grown with very different philosophies. Alex is very meticulous and his garden is designed to display the palms in a very organized fashion. Carl, on the other hand, has embraced the dense jungle …

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…
