Marie Selby Botanical Gardens supporters had an elegant evening during the annual Garden to Plate Wine Dinner on March 6. 

Guests arrived and mingled at the night's main attraction: an intricately-decorated but sprawling dinner table that seated 176 patrons for a fourse-course meal with desserts that also included various wines. Once the cocktail hour ended, guests retired to their seats for the dinner to begin.
