Thanks for bumping this and adding your photos, Robert! Post 37 is especially gorgeous. Edith is quite an interesting woman, not only a very talented palm artist and palm gardener, but also a dedicated philanthropist, and she was quite spunky on the river rafting trip in Costa Rica!

This is just a fantastic garden, great diversity, placement, and space to give a great perspective and showcase various species. You can see that someone put their heart into this for decades in a big way. Great pics, this garden is truly a work of living art.

This is a magnificent Northern California garden. I would have loved to have been there for the garden tour.

The largest Ravenea rivularis I have seen north of Los Angeles. Still recovering from the freeze of 2007.

Indoor swimming pool with some more tender palms. No interior pictures taken.

Fantastic - I like the way the palms work with the pines and decidous trees.

[JasonD]

Pines and palms are natural neighbors in Florida, other southeastern US states, and in Mexico. I guess maybe too in the Canary Islands and the Mediterranean basin.

What other places have pines and palms growing natively together?

Edith's garden is a true treasure of the Bay Area. As is Edith herself!

I suppose Norfolk Island could be included with their pines and Rhapholotylis

Is that a new genus Sol?

you think they would choose names that are easier to spell.

Very Nice Garden, thanks for sharing those pics!

I was having another look at Edith's beautiful garden and realized that the 4th picture from the top that Daxin took, appears to be the new Brahea, B. "Super Silver." Edith has the largest one I've seen, and in fact the first time I had seen one. Does anyone have any that are larger than seedlings? I just got some small ones and they are totally green. I presume they turn silver as they grow older as does B.decumbens.

A wonderful Northern Garden worthy of a second look.

If you never have seen it, thank those who posted the photos.

I think the label says 'Sabal Palmetto', and I know this is a Sabal, at least.
