How cold-tolerant are the new palms? I'm really noticing a lot of ugly dead ones these days from the winter's ice storm.

It looked like they would be ready to open it up this weekend but guess not:

We hope everyone is excited about this Sunday’s Easter Celebration in Seaside! Due to continued improvements in the Amphitheater, our Easter Egg Hunt will now be held on the Lyceum Lawn next to the Seaside Neighborhood School. We will offer two separate egg hunts, one for ages 1-4 at 1:00PM and another for ages 5-10 at 1:30PM. Don’t miss out on the regions largest Easter Egg Hunt with over 15,000 candy filled eggs! We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you in Seaside on Sunday!

Are these the same palms as the ones in Alys which were drastically cut back due to the frost?

I think the changes are great, but don't understand why it has taken so long to complete or why they did it during spring break.

Have been told the new design will be a big improvement for the Farmer's market and stormwater control.

Beautiful! Even though the palm trees are of a non native species

Wow. Looks amazing. What a great design. Can't wait to see it in October. Thanks as always for the pictures!

Many of the dead palms around South Walton are dead because they are not native. Notice that Palmetto's weren't phased by the cold this winter. While some palms are truly dead, many others simply need to be pruned and the dead fronds removed.

Whether you like palms or not it's spectacular shiny and new. It's nice to see families enjoying the bowl again.
