Virtual greetings from the Columbia University Club of Sarasota! At our next virtual event Jennifer Rominiecki will discuss Selby Gardens’ Compromise Master Plan for the Downtown Sarasota campus and what’s on the horizon for 2021 – including a discussion of and a look at some highlights of the latest exhibition – Roy Lichtenstein: Monet’s Garden Goes Pop!

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens provides 45 acres of bayfront sanctuaries connecting people with air plants of the world, native nature, and our regional history. Established by forward thinking women of their time, Selby Gardens is composed of the 15-acre Downtown Sarasota campus and the 30-acre Historic Spanish Point campus in the Osprey area of Sarasota County.
