Jean Weidner Goldstein, one of the co-chairs of the campaign to raise funds for a major renovation to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens master plan, has made a $1 million gift to the project.
The endowment gift will go to Innovating a Greener Future – Living Inspiration for The Living Museum: The Campaign for Selby Gardens. Selby Gardens is an extraordinary garden of international stature, not only for its world-class collections, but for the master plan, Goldstein said in a statement. The sustainability features of this master plan will solidify Selby Gardens as a leader in sustainability worldwide.
Selby Gardens has raised more than $35 million, or about 80% of the $42.5 million needed to launch the first phase of the new master plan, and a groundbreaking ceremony is planned on June 3.
