Sadly, that group arrived and found that the freeze recently experienced had ravished ANSG.All Coconuts and all other palms were obliterated and all that remains are two pine trees and a badly scorched Sabal.

There was a Licuala radula that survived, protected by a rock!

In line with the recent trend to drag up some old threads, please find Pedro's Ann Norton Sculpture Garden tribute.I think a summer journey back to check out the Palms and Art is warranted!

A summer PRA, yippie! :) Any chance we can convince them to remove those pesky sculptures, as they block the view of some palms! This place is my new "hang out" :D

While scouting for possiblities to hold an upcoming social event, we eyed ANSG as a possibility. Took a pic of an Aiphanes I grew from seed and some photos inside Anne's studio.

Happy Palm nestled in the grounds! :D
