When I have a chance I always recommend Shelby Gardens to my Vintage Taxi customers. Before Carol and I moved to Lakewood Ranch, from Sarasota bay front, we would often take our morning walk thru Selby Gardens…It’s a magical place!
I’m sure you would enjoy this years Orchid Ball, hope to see you there.
