Went to Sunken Gardens today, first time since the '80s, it has changed quite a bit. They finally have some coconut palms which were notably missing in the '80s.

Yes, they will grow here as long as they are in the shade.

Great stuff! I need to visit. I haven’t been there since I was a kid in the late 80’s. I need to take my kids there. Very close so I have no excuse.
