This is mostly an adult attraction if you’re interested in plants. They have beautiful orchids, fruit trees and exotic plants and trees. Some can be purchased.

The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is a 15-acre botanical garden located at 900 South Palm Avenue in Sarasota, Florida. The Gardens are located on the grounds of the former home of Marie and William Selby. The Gardens feature preserved collections of epiphytes, feature more than 20,000 living plants including 5,500 orchids, 3,500 bromeliads and 1,600 other plants. The living collection is accompanied by an herbarium, with dried and preserved specimens of tropical flora; the world's second-largest spirit collection consisting of vials of mostly orchid flowers in preservative fluids; and a library. More than 150 expeditions to the tropics and subtropics have contributed to these collections. Selby Gardens' botanists have discovered or described more than 2,000 plant species previously unknown to science.[2] The Gardens maintain banyans, bamboo, live oaks, palms, mangroves, succulents, wildflowers, cycads, bromeliads, a butterfly garden, a fragrance garden, an edible garden, and a koi pond, on a site bordering Sarasota Bay. The interactive Ann Goldstein Children's Rainforest Garden is designed to help children develop a lifelong appreciation for rainforest plants.

A visit to Selby Gardens is a must-see on my list. This private garden, donated to the city, is a botanical paradise. Selby Garden specializes in the display and cultivation of epiphytes (bromeliads, orchids, etc...). Take your time walking the gardens, stand under the canopy of an enormous Banyan tree, take in the views of Sarasota Bay.....benches are strategically located throughout the grounds. It's hard not to feel peaceful and at one with nature in this magical garden setting. www.selby.org A second campus was recently added in South Sarasota...Historic Spanish Point.

This is a plant lovers paradise with tropical gardens set along the shore of Sarasota Bay. Koi ponds, a butterfly garden, and other peaceful spots make this a great place to spend the day.
