Selby Gardens hosted its annual Garden to Plate Winer Dinner with a new format and layout on March 5. 

The annual event — which typically has one long table seating more than a hundred attendees — was reformatted to have several tables with elegant flower decor and chandeliers hanging overhead. More than 130 guests assembled at the Selby grounds for a lavish multi-course meal that was accompanied with several wines.
