Everyone: I am delighted to announce that we are having our first meeting in Los Angeles County in about four years. Our March 16, 2024 meeting will be at the home and garden of Sergio at 13811 Philadelphia Street, Whittier CA 90601. This will be the third time we have visited Sergio's garden, and we were long overdue. Sergio started the garden back in 2008 and had it fully planted out by 2010. Overall, there's 150 palms and 50 cycads, for a real glorious jungle, plus a big palapa by the waterfall pool, and a palapa in the pool. A true Palm-Themed Scream Dream.

Hello, everyone: We're back in a garden we haven't been to for a long time, which I've never seen. The May 2013 PSSC meeting will take place on May 18, 2013 in the Bill Burke and NancyBell Coe garden in Santa Barbara. The site was formerly the home and garden of the Gunther Schwartz family. Since our visit seven years ago, the garden suffered fire damage and neglect before careful restoration by the present owners Bill and NancyBell. Gunther Schwartz (in spirit!) would be delighted by our return to his now carefully restored garden. The garden is known for the most varied collection in Santa Barbara and outstanding succulent planting. Gunther devoted 25 years…

PBPCS General Meeting: Wednesday May 5, 2021 @ 7 pm Speaker: Dr. Larry Noblick "An Ice Age Relic Palm in Arizona" In the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge of Arizona, there is a relic population of Washingtonia growing in a remote narrow desert canyon surrounded by Sonoran Desert vegetation. Some scientists have dared to recognize it as a new species and others have dismissed the idea. In a recent study it was found to be an outlier from all others in the genus based on morphology. Is it a new species? Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85841720590?pwd=Um11UVZPTk12RUZOWHBZWHVueVNEZz09 Call in: 1-669-900-6833 Meeting ID: 85841720590
