Great pics from Kim and Pando!  I only managed to snap a few.. 

Here Josh admonishes Hammer to not throw his little one in the Waterfall as a sacrifice to the Palm Gods..

For some reason little Cade looks surprised that dad (Adam-Hammer) might do that! Adams smile is showing he is wondering which palms will start doing better at his home...

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Great big thanks to our two hosts, Gary and Brett.  It is a lot of work to prepare the garden for an onslaught of visitors!

Thanks to Ando and Bill for adding greater perspectives with their photos.

I don't make it to every PSSC meeting, but always enjoy it when I do.  The next one in September -- plan ahead. You must be a member and there is a fee to cover transportation from the parking area and catered food.  It's quite an extensive garden surrounding classic Southern California architecture, and will be of interest to people who like succulents, cacti, cycads, and other non-palms.
