March 9, 2022 – Sarasota
Kids (and kids at heart) can enjoy fun art and nature activities this Saturday morning, March 12, at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.
It’s the first of three monthly “Family Saturdays” coming up at Selby Gardens’ Downtown Sarasota campus, with similar events scheduled for April 9 and May 14. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to noon each day, and participation is included in admission to the Gardens, which is always free for Selby Gardens members.
“Selby Gardens is a wonderful place for multiple generations to spend time together outdoors,” said Jennifer Rominiecki, president and CEO of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. “We love these Family Saturdays, because they engage children in connecting art with nature, and they offer yet another reason for visitors to return to our Downtown Sarasota campus.”
Several activity stations with different art projects will be set up in the Ann Goldstein Children’s Rainforest Garden during each monthly event. Children will have the opportunity to create their own nature-inspired art with a variety of materials, from colored pencils to tempera paint.
Admission to Selby Gardens’ Downtown Sarasota campus is $25 for adults, $10 for ages 5 to 17, and free for children 4 and under. Tickets may be purchased online in advance at selby.org. Selby Gardens members always receive complimentary admission as well as discounts for guests.
Family Saturdays are part of the Ann Winslow Donelly and Norbert P. Donelly Family and Community Engagement Series. Lead sponsor is Community Foundation of Sarasota County, while supporting sponsors include Koski Family Foundation and Flora Major for Kutja Major Foundation.
