PSSC BANQUET 1 2

- 10.1k views
It was 33 years ago, when Palm Society of Southern California (PSSC) president at that time, Ralph Velez, thought it would be a good idea to have an annual banquet, so made arrangements to have it, of all places, at the Palms restaurant in Anaheim. The following year it was held at Sam’s Seafood in Seal Beach. For a number of years, it was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and that’s where Ralph has arranged to have it again this January 2009. It’s a very exclusive Hotel with a beautifully landscaped garden featuring a wonderful collection of palms. The special thing about the Hyatt’s garden is that it was planted many years ago, so is one of the better public examples of m…

PSSC MEETING HOLMBY HILLS, CA
by JEFF from Trabuco Canyon CA- 23 replies
- 4.2k views
Mark your calendar, November 15th, the PSSC will be holding a garden picnic in Holmby Hills at the home of Drew Zager. This is a marvelous exercise in landscaping transformation where pre-existing is meshed with a heavy touch of the tropics. Drew Zager is the son of PSSC Board Member Bud Zager. Fittingly, the theme of busy lives is "Palms Brought Us Together". The history of this estate in Drew's words: In early 2000, I bought my home in Holmby Hills (west of Beverly Hills - east of Westwood) in a probate sale. The house was in complete disrepair and had been vacant for over two years with no running water. However, the house was paneled with thick Philippine…

Schedule: 11:00 AM - The garden of Robert and Mary Moebius, 905 Calle Acopada, Camarillo, CA 93010 (at Camino Concordia). Mr. and Mrs. Moebius began planting the palms in this garden in 1974.

Next Tuesday night we are having a special dinner to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Palm and Cycad Society of Australia (PACSOA). Should be a great night, the menu looks very interesting at the Summit restaurant on top of Mt Cootha. What's even better about this night is that we will still hold a raffle, you beauty. I look forward to seeing a good crowd, no special speaker coming so that means I can yap on even more than usual.
