   Posting this at the request of Jeff Chemnick folks...this is his post on the cycad group board: Hello Group, Dry your crying eyes! Though Cycad Day at the Huntington has just sold out, here is an equally entertaining opportunity for a botanically-fascintating Saturday, June 16...at Lotusland in Santa Barbara! Don Hodel, noted palm authority, will be visiting Lotusland and making a presentation on...palm trees (large group of derived monocotyledonous angiosperms superficially evocative of and splendid examples of convergent evolution with cycads). The program begins in the afternoon and will feature not only a riveting talk and garden tour but wine, cheese, etc. …

    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.

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.
