It is with a heavy heart and abundance of caution regarding the Coronavirus pandemic that we have decided to close Marie Selby Botanical Gardens to the public beginning Tuesday, March 17 until further notice.
We will continue to evaluate the situation each day as the well-being and safety of our guests, members, volunteers, and staff is of the greatest importance to us.
As our entire organization confronts these unknown circumstances, it is even more important to have your support during this critical time. Although the Gardens will be closed, we are committed to paying our employees so they are protected from unexpected financial stresses. If you would like to help us during this challenging time, please consider making a gift to Selby Gardens here.
Thank you for your ongoing support. We wish you good health and look forward to seeing you in the Gardens again very soon.
