Supporters of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Marc Chagall fans and just good old-fashioned foodies gathered on the great lawn April 21 at Selby to enjoy fine French Riviera-inspired cuisine.
Garden to Plate: An Evening in Chagall’s French Riviera, a casually elegant event chaired by Nora and Billy Johnson with Jennifer and Ken Pendery, featured whimsical table settings and decor by Roger Capote and a five-course meal by Phil Mancini.
The menu included a first course of pan-seared scallop and shrimp, second course of roasted Florida black grouper, third course of herbs de Provence-braised lamb shank and an apricot tart and lavender ice cream for dessert.
