    Where was this photo taken? Is it at the Ruth Bancroft Garden by any chance?

    It was taken at a garden not far (less than a mile) from Ruth Bancroft’s in Walnut Creek. The owner has contributed a number of palms to RBG over the years, including the Jubaea chilensis and two Trithrinax campestris.
