I will be there looking for some relative cold hardy varieties. I have a list of what not to buy, after this brutal winter. Does SFPS have a list of palms & vendors for the sale?

Wow - the turn out was much better than anticipated. Sunday afternoon impressively was very well attended. I observed the people from Montgomery giving guided tours nearly non-stop. It turned out to be a great event with many PalmTalk members in attendance. Ryan (Palmarum) took tons of photos which should be coming shortly!
