80 Free Passes to Selby Gardens Hidden Around Town

Coconut Telegraph

To encourage year-round residents of Sarasota and Manatee counties to visit its grounds this summer, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is hiding 40 binocular sets filled with free passes to the 40-year-old-attraction throughout the region. The search begins May 31 when 40 binocular sets will be hidden in public places like parks and shopping areas. Anyone who finds the small black case with the Selby Gardens logo on it will find inside a “discovery” pass that includes two free entry passes to the botanical gardens for use between May 31 and July 31, 2016. The 40 sets with 80 total tickets will be spread out from North Port and Venice to Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton. “We want to encourage everyone to come play in their “backyard” and enjoy the Gardens this summer,” said Jennifer O. Rominiecki, President & CEO of Selby Gardens. “Finding one of these sets of binoculars is like finding a golden ticket!”
