Marie Selby Botanical Gardens has placed third in the USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards contest for “Best Botanical Garden” in the United States.

Nominees for the award were chosen by a panel of relevant experts, which includes a combination of editors from USA TODAY and editors from 10Best.com . Selby Gardens was one of 20 gardens selected for the Best Botanical Gardens Category. Voting by the public narrowed the list down to the top final 10. Voting began Feb. 5 and closed March 4.

“We want to thank the Sarasota community and supporters of Selby Gardens for voting for us,” said Selby President and CEO Jennifer Rominiecki. “Thanks to you, Selby Gardens is receiving national recognition, and we can continue to broadly showcase our mission of providing Bayfront sanctuaries connecting people with air plants of the world, native nature and our regional history.”
