Drum Circle on Siesta Key occurs every Sunday night about an hour prior to sunset. This is not an organized event. It just kind of occurs and every night is different. Bring a chair and enjoy the drums.
the crab & fin is a good seafood restaurant on st. armands circle. they also offer kobe beef and poultry. one of sarasota's better restaurants. reservation recommended during the winter tourist season.
Being a plant fanatic I was pretty excited about this garden . The plant collection is pretty amazing . This was once the private garden of Marie Selby who together with her husband lived on the property from 1920 to 1971. She had a love of nature and appreciated her beautiful surroundings .She actually formed the first garden club in Sarasota. The contents of Marie Selby's will revealed her wish to leave her property to the community as a botanical garden "for the enjoyment of the general public."
The Gardens maintains a plant collection numbering more than 20,000 greenhouse plants, plus thousands more in the outdoor gardens. It is well know for its incredibe orchad collection.
Selby Gardens is open every day except Christmas from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve the Gardens close at 3:00 p.m.
Adults $17, Children 6-11 $6,
Members Free.
Located along the bayfront at the edge of Downtown is a tranquil botanical gardens that is definately worth a visit. See the towering stalks of bamboo and listen as they clang together in song. Watch for brilliantly colored butterflies. Meander on the boardwalk through beautiful flowering plants and trees. Enjoy giant, whimsical ant statues. Marvel at the extensive root systems of giant hardwoods. Behold the largest collection of airplants. Take in one of the best views of the Sarasota skyline. Shop for interesting nature gifts. All of these activities and more await you at the Selby Botanical Gardens!
