Families spent the day enjoying brunch and celebrating moms beneath the banyans on the great lawn for Mother’s Day at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. The day coincided with the Selby Gardens Spring Music series featuring the Sarasota Concert band and a specially selected arrangement for mother’s to enjoy.

Other activities included a brunch buffet catered by Michael’s on East and a Saks beauty lounge featuring Saks Fifth Avenue and Jo Malone of London products. Following brunch families were able to meander through the gardens, conservatory and historical Christy Payne Mansion.
