Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Downtown Sarasota campus

Beautiful botanical garden nestled on several water front acres. They apparently have a variety of exhibits from the various arts that they rotate in and out and are showcased throughout the gardens. They do offer a little something for the young ones but it is definitely more geared to adults. I highly recommend visiting the garden if you have 1-2 hours to spare.

Beautiful place, well kept with gardeners all over the place pruning and raking. Massive campus with lots of things to see! The music/photography theme is cute.. Gift shop was also large with lots of plants, prices were predictably high as most museum-like places are, but for admission $15 was great. I’m told it’s very busy usually, we went right as they opened on a Tuesday and it wasn’t too busy at all. Highly recommend.

Ticket was $15 for adult. Free for Florida college students with proof of ID. We was there Dec of 2021. Not too hot. Nice walk. Lots of nice flowers and plants. You can buy Orchids there. Good selection to choice from.

Amazing collection of orchids, bromeliads, and more. Loved the vm a Asian gardens, bonsai, and bamboo. Overall better than most similar places.
