PalmTalk Username: Kim

Encouraged by her palm-collecting brother, Kim joined the Palm Society of Southern California in 2006, and contributes articles and photographs to the Society's Palm Journal. An International Palm Society member since 2008, she is a regular participant on PalmTalk, the interactive online forum of the IPS, contributing photographs from gardens and palm habitats both locally and from travels. She maintains palm gardens in San Diego, Calfornia and Pahoa, Hawaii.

As an enthusiastic gardener and plant collector, Kim is supportive of efforts to increase education, awareness, and preservation of the world's rich array of palms. Kim experienced her first IPS Biennial in Costa Rica in 2008, and is committed to an active contribution of her time and effort toward the international growth and continued success of the IPS.

Kim has been a practicing financial advisor for more than thirty years, and is the proud mother of two children, now thriving adults. Other interests include hiking, travel, languages, surfing, diving, and playing the violin.

Kim-

While I tend to gravitate to "known to me" contributors on Palm Talk because I find them funny or snarky, your contributions are always thoughtful, interesting and educational. I wish you would post more often, but alas, some of us still have to work.
