Sarasota, FL.| January 13, 2025 – Kids and kids at heart can enjoy fun art and nature activities on Saturday morning, January 18, at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.
This is the first of five monthly “Family Saturdays” coming to Selby Gardens’ Downtown Sarasota campus, with similar events scheduled for February 22, March 29, April 26, and May 31. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to noon each session, and participation is included in admission to the Gardens, which is always free for Selby Gardens members.
“Selby Gardens is a special place where generations can come together to enjoy the outdoors,” said Jennifer Rominiecki, President and CEO of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. “We love hosting Family Saturdays because they inspire children to connect art with nature and give visitors yet another reason to return to our Downtown Sarasota campus.”
Several activity stations with different art projects will be set up in the Ann Goldstein Children’s Rainforest Garden during each monthly event. Elementary school age children will have the opportunity to create their own nature-inspired art with a variety of materials.
Admission to Selby Gardens’ Downtown Sarasota campus is $28 for adults, $12 for ages 5 to 17, and free for children 4 and under. Tickets may be purchased online in advance at selby.org. Selby Gardens members always receive complimentary admission as well as discounts for guests.
Family Saturdays are part of the Ann Winslow Donelly and Norbert P. Donelly Family and Community Engagement Series and is sponsored by Beverly Koski and the Koski Family Foundation.
