Our local palm society (BPACS) visited the gardens and nursery of Clayton York today...known as Utopia Palms and Cycads. We try to visit every couple of years as there is always a lot to see there in the gardens, and always lots of good stuff to buy!

The weather was beautiful, after an overnight cool change, and it was a sunny 27C autumn day for our wander around the property.

Here's a few photos of some of the palms we saw...more to come later, and hopefully some of the others will contribute too...

Great palm photos! Enjoying the friendly familiar faces too!

Hi everybody from far away PR! I'll be a lot closer in June when I (for the first time) visit Australia! Hope to see some of you there....

I have heard about this nursery now for many years and appreciate the visuals.
