Harris and Zweip Howea belomoriana trio.

GARDEN NUMBER ONE: Home and Garden David Harris and Susan Gomez Zwiep at 3054 Shadypark Drive, Long Beach, CA 90808. This house was purchased by them a short time ago, and though at this time, they do not know too much about the palms on the property, they have expressed they wanted to learn more about them and I am hopeful this will encourage them to join. I had the opportunity to speak with a neighbor and he said both he and the previous owner were friends and shared many ideas about their gardens and how they should look and what they planted and he said they started planting in the early 1980’s. Some of what you will see are some nice Howea belmoreanas, Rhopalostylis sapidas, some large rare cycads and lots of variegated plants throughout their beautiful landscaping.

Mr. Quinn's front yard.

GARDEN NUMBER TWO: Home and Garden of Casey and DeeEtte Quinn at 4413 Woodruff Ave Lakewood, CA 90713. This Garden was started in late 2006. It started out slow at first with some larger transplanted palms that were dug up from a friend and fellow member Julio Gonzales’s home. Soon after, many trips were being made down south to a variety of growers to start his collection. He didn’t really have a masterplan when planting, he just chose the palms he wanted and tried to find a good spot for them 10 years later, looks like he did a pretty good job. A little of everything is represented: lots of palms, cycads, Ti plants, bromeliads and ferns.
