How Selby Gardens Grew

Ever wonder how one of the most breathtaking waterfront properties became Sarasota's own botanical garden? Join us as David shares his original research into the Selby family, their philanthropy, and the remarkable story of the creation of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens which led to the book The Land of Selby.

David Turner was an antiquarian bookseller and appraiser for 30 years and has written and lectured on a variety of bibliographic subjects. He now serves as a tour guide at Marie Selby Gardens, a wildlife rescuer at Save our Seabirds and a cellist with Strings Con Brio.
