Just checking in on the new palm plantings in Coffs harbour’ botanical gardens

[happypalms]

The new larger palms that have been donated to the gardens have tucked themselves in well with all the recent rains. Kindly donated by Colin Wilson the largest ones and a few smaller ones by myself. A nice group planting of some joeys and a single kerriodoxa along with a lanonia dasyantha they are established and just need time to get up and growing. But there in the garden and will be gor the years to come.

All I want to see is the future generations enjoy them. Hopefully they will become a part of the garden and be well looked after. Coffs botanical gardens has a lot of room for a lot of palms. It just needs to be set out in a way that will bring the eye candy to the viewer in the way of palms.

When I visited The Huntington , I was so pleased at how well it is laid out and maintained. It takes years of dedication . Just knowing that some of  the plants and palms were planted by folks who are no longer around to see how marvelous they look now. The ultimate “ pay it forward!” Harry

It might be a different story in the real tropical climates where palms grow to maturity overnight. But for the subtropical climates and temperat areas it’s a generation thing for sure. Hindsight is a wonderful gift to have, only now as we age we get that hindsight, hopefully we can pass on the next generation of palm bugs!
