Green Orchid Restaurant at Selby Botanical Gardens 1534 Mound St, Sarasota FL 34236

Purchase Ticket

Join us for a group lunch at the Green Orchid Restaurant on the Selby Campus in Sarasota.  Selby Gardens was named by Time magazine as one of the “World’s Greatest Places in 2024″ and its recently completed Phase One construction was cited by the Wall Street Journal as among the “Best Architecture of 2024.”

The program will begin with a presentation by Jennifer Rominiecki followed by Lunch at the Green Orchid. This will be followed by the Club’s very brief Annual Meeting, and then a guided tour of the Phase One facilities and of the 2025 Spring Exhibition – “George Harrison: A Gardener’s Life.”  The exhibition includes videos of George in the garden, called Friar Park, that he purchased and restored after the Beatles broke up.  There’s also a maze for getting lost in, garden statuary and water features, and both George’s music to hear and Olivia Harrison’s poetry to read as you pass through.

Participants should plan to arrive at 10:45 AM to receive their entrance stickers.

11:00 AM Proceed to Welcome Center where there will be welcome remarks by Jennifer Rominiecki, President and CEO of Selby Gardens. This will be followed by a presentation of Selby Gardens Master Plan (including phase 2)

11:45 AM Proceed to lunch at the Green Orchid

1:00 PM Guided tour of Gardens.

The cost is only $36.40 for members of Selby Gardens, and $67.40 for non-Selby members.  Click here to register: https://mp.gg/2hfqwl5t
