March 14, 2020 (Saturday) Gardens In Paradise Tour - 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM by Sarasota Garden Club.
"Day of Tour" tickets are $40. Early Bird tickets are $25.00 for non-Sarasota Garden Club members. The Group Rate is only $20 per person with a minimum purchase of 10 tickets. Early Bird tickets can be purchased on sarasotagardenclub.org and are also available at the SGC office from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
UPDATE: SGC will publish a map of the 7 available gardens to tour right before the event starts. Last year that was Friday night; it might be as late as Saturday morning. You can begin your tour at any of the gardens on the tour or at the Sarasota Garden club’s clubhouse (1131 Boulevard of the Arts, Sarasota). And you may visit the gardens in any order that you wish.
FOR THOSE GOE MEMBERS WHO PURCHASED GROUP TICS THROUGH KAREN ECKERT: There will be two or more hostesses at every garden on the tour. All have the list of pre-registered guests. Simply give the hostess your name (or, if you’re taking someone else’s place, give her name) and whether you are just touring or also having lunch. You might have to mention Karen Eckert's name as the person who purchased the group tickets. The hostess will give you a wristband for the garden tours and a different color wristband for lunch. Once you have your wristband(s), you do not need to check in again.
