Wow, great landscaping job Mike!

Love the placement of the Trachies, Butia and (Waggie?)
Is that a Queen palm towering above the tropical garden?

What zone is that?
i.e. how much protection will the palms get this winter?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
