We are off to Selby Gardens in Sarasota on Thursday to set up for their big botanical show this weekend and we can't wait ! Mitch hasn't done this show in years but luckily, they had some openings for more vendors this year, and they managed to give us a great double booth area in the big back field.
Mitch and I haven't been to Selby in years but Mitch has fond memories of volunteering there when he went through his Master Gardener Class years ago. I can't wait to see the huge Banyan Tree, and the bountiful plants that exist in this magical place.
It's a great day trip for anyone looking to get out of the Burg, just an hour's drive away. Google Selby.org for all the details about the show and maps etc. Note ! There is an entrance fee of $9, which sounds high, but they are actually discounting it for the show (it's usually $17 !). From what I have heard, it is money well spent. Plus there is outlying free parking with free shuttles, so they try and make it easy for you. I recommend bringing a cart !
With the last minute chance to do the Selby show, unfortunately, we can't be at our usual markets this weekend but will return to them next week.
I am hoping to take pics tomorrow at our set up to give you a tease of the goodies we, and others, will have there, so keep tabs on our blog for more news.
