PalmTalk Username: Elena B. Uruguay

Elena Beare, from Uruguay, South America, has been an IPS member since 1994, and with her husband George, has attended six biennials. She used to own a floral design business, but shifted to landscaping and that was the start of her attraction to palms. She bought a farm for palm production where she now grows two acres with more than 2000 Butias, queen palms, and Washingtonias. Her aim is to start a Uruguay palm society affiliate and to help preserve the world’s largest natural stand of Butia capitata, in Rocha, Uruguay.
