Selby Gardens is Thankful for You

Things To Do

The season of gratitude is upon us, and we have so much to be thankful for here at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Most of all, we are thankful for you—our members, visitors, and supporters who make everything we do possible. As we celebrate this season together, I hope you’ll take a moment to watch my brief message of thanks and see the many ways outlined below that you can make Selby Gardens part of your holiday traditions and help advance our mission. Spend time at either of our campuses (or both!) and enjoy all that our bayfront sanctuaries have to offer. Both campuses will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be no Lily Pond Night with The Green Orchid on Thursday evening. It may be Black Friday on November 28, but at Selby Gardens, we like to refer to it as "Green Friday," a day to spend time in nature. We'll be open on Friday (and the holiday weekend) during our regular hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
