The Homestead of Ella & Eric Graham, purchased in 2018, a collection of curations and creations has been named Hideaway Palmetum. The property resides within the Coco Wood Lakes homeowners association in Delray Beach, Florida. Water features, palms, flowers, and other tropical plants turned this once abandoned weedscape into a wildlife paradise.

A rainforest in an urban jungle comes with its challenges. All of your neighbors vermin, insects, and weeds find the lush accommodations you created glorious. With each creation mother nature lets you know your shortcomings, in forethought, or longevity. Raccoons, squirrels, and rodents are very productive (or was that destructive) creatures constantly keeping you on your toes.

Various birds use the poorly trimmed and cared for trees opportunistically to make nests while utilizing our various fresh water sources, as well as the plentiful composting crew that work diligently turning over our leaves and other organic matter into waste (aka fertilizer).
