San Francisco Botanical Garden’s Arecaeae (Palm Family) Collection has achieved Plant Collections Network Accreditation. The Bay Area’s mild Mediterranean climate with coastal fog is the ideal environment for growing high-elevation palm species outdoors. These conditions enable successful cultivation of rare, heat-intolerant species from cloud forest habitats in the Andes and Temperate Asia, a significant contribution to ex situ conservation initiatives.
