As Marie Selby Botanical Gardens prepares for its sustainable future, the institution is also preserving historical elements such as the Payne Mansion, the Augusta block bricks that pave South Palm Avenue, and the Selby House (Marie and William Selby’s home, here). It’s a spot where visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the beautiful surroundings.
