Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden and research center in Sarasota, United States.
The Downtown Sarasota campus spans 15 acres along Sarasota Bay, featuring specialized collections of orchids, bromeliads, gesneriads, ferns, and tropical plants.
Marie Selby, who inherited the property in 1971, established the gardens to preserve the land for botanical research and public education about tropical plants.
The gardens function as a Smithsonian Affiliate institution, offering educational programs and exhibitions that connect visitors with plant science and environmental conservation.
The facility includes accessible walkways, an on-site restaurant, guided tours, meeting spaces, and parking areas that accommodate visitors throughout the year.
These gardens constitute the only botanical institution globally dedicated specifically to studying and displaying epiphytic plants, which grow on other plants.
