The Daily Dig
Considered the most extensive established collection of cool Mediterranean and high altitude tropical palms in the United States, the Lakeside Palmetum features a great variety of palm species native to cool and warm Mediterranean climates and tropical high altitude regions of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Americas. Oakland’s unique subtropical microclimate provides the perfect growing conditions to nurture this collection.

Me too, Hammock Girl. Been there and liked it v. much. If you guys ever get down to San Diego you should see the Palm garden in Balboa park. The best views are from your patio table at a restaurant (whose name won't come to me) where you definitely want to order the fish tacos. Hands down the best I've had anywhere.
