This Saturday the Palm Society of Southern California, Quail Botanical Gardens and the Southern California Chapter of the American Bamboo Society will be having a sale. A copy of the announcement follows:

SATURDAY, MAY 30, 2009

Every fourth year the PSSC coordinates a Meeting with the Annual Palm and Cycad Sale at Quail Gardens in Encinitas, CA. This is that year!
