My 'Palmetum'in April 2002



I have completed some more retaining walls and planted a few more palms. It has been a very dry summer (driest in 67 years) and plants have not grown as much as I'd have liked. Most of the year was spent collecting rock and building the walls, as well as keeping the existing plants alive... Last updated April 2002
