Please visit our entry on the Gulf Coast Innovation Challenge Site to learn about Selby Gardens’ Living Shorelines project, one of 31 local projects vying for a $375,000 prize in the Gulf Coast Community Foundation Innovation Challenge. We believe that if this project is successful, it will add a significant impact to the regional economy, elevate Selby Gardens’ status as a world-class center for habitat conservation and research as well as highlight the natural asset that is our Bayfront home.
As part of the application process, Observer Media Group helped us produce a short video that explains more about the project and our partners. Please visit the Gulf Coast Innovation Challenge grant page and “vote” for our project by liking the Living Shorelines page. The more “votes” our project receives, the greater our chances to win the People’s Choice award for this dynamic project. You can also boost our chances by sharing this link with your network of friends, family and business associates and asking them to vote for our project by liking and commenting there.
We will continue to keep you informed with periodic updates of this project as it advances through the competition. Thank you for your ongoing support of Selby Gardens.
