GUEST SPEAKER DON HOLDEL ON PALMS OF SOUTHERN JAPAN AND TAIWAN

Our next meeting of the Palm Society of Southern California will be on Saturday, November 15, 2014. Meeting starts in Vista and heads south to Encinitas. We will first visit the established palm garden of Barry and Donna McElmurry in Vista, CA. In one hour, members will head south to San Diego Botanical Garden and meet in Ecke Hall, just off the parking lot. There we are honored to have a presentation by Don Hodel, affiliated with UCLA. He will talk about two recent expeditions to southern Japan and Taiwan to study palms. This will be followed by a huge auction of plants. Terms of Auction Below. Note that this is not a "potluck" meeting and attendees should plan lunch on their own.

ITINERARY:
1O:30AM: Arrive at McElmurry garden
11:30AM: Depart for San Diego Botanical Garden - if needed, eat something on way
12:45PM: Begin Meeting in Ecke Hall south of parking lot. Society news and announcements
1:00PM: Speaker Don Hodel on the Palms of Southern Japan and Taiwan
2:00PM: Plant Auction, many unusual and rare items, may be great buys!
4:00PM: Adjournment

TERMS OF AUCTION: All members are encouraged to donate plants for this auction. Plants that can be carried are preferred.

On request and approval, a donor can receive 33% of proceeds from their donated plants.
