      <Desc>ORIGINALLY THE HOME OF WILLIAM AND MARIE SELBY. MARIE SELBY BOTANICAL GARDENS TODAY IS AN URBAN, BAYFRONT OASIS SHOWCASING A LIVING COLLECTION OF RARE AND BEAUTIFUL TROPICAL PLANTS. THE GARDENS IS ALSO A RESPECTED WORLD LEADER IN THE STUDY AND CONSERVATION OF PLANTS, PARTICULARLY EPIPHYTES-PLANTS ADAPTED TO LIVE IN THE TREE CANOPY, INCLUDING ORCHIDS, BROMELIADS, GESNERIADS AND FERNS. THE MORE WE KNOW, THE BETTER WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANT PRESERVATION AND HABITAT CONSERVATION. SINCE 1973, SCIENTISTS FROM SELBY GARDENS HAVE VENTURED INTO SOME OF THE WORLD'S WILDEST PLACES TO IDENTIFY, STUDY, COLLECT AND LEARN FROM THESE RESOURCEFUL, REMARKABLE PLANTS. AS A RESULT, WE'VE DEVELOPED A RICH BODY OF KNOWLEDGE TO SHARE WITH PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS ARE AN INVALUABLE WAY TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS ADVANCE OUR MISSION. JUST AS PLANTS IN THE WILD ADAPT TO AN EVER-CHANGING ENVIRONMENT, WE KNOW WE MUST CONSTANTLY SEEK COMMON GROUND AND FIND WAYS TO WORK COOPERATIVELY. SELBY GARDENS WELCOMES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS WORKING IN THE AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION. JUST AS SELBY GARDENS IS A RESPECTED CENTER FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION, IT IS A FAMOUS HORTICULTURAL SHOWPLACE THAT DELIGHTS MORE THAN 130,000 VISITORS ANNUALLY. VISITORS COME TO RELAX, LEARN, EXPLORE AND EXPERIENCE THE LIVING COLLECTION OF TROPICAL PLANTS AND PROGRAMS AVAILABLE 364 DAYS A YEAR. THE SELBYS WANTED THEIR HOME TO BE A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD RETREAT FROM THE WORLD'S EVERYDAY HUSTLE AND BUSTLE. TODAY THE PROPERTY IS DOUBLE ITS ORIGINAL SIZE AND NOW CONTAINS NEARLY 15 ACRES HOUSING 12 BUILDINGS (INCLUDING 7 GREENHOUSES) TRANSECTED BY A BRICK-LAID AVENUE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SHORES OF SARASOTA BAY IN DOWNTOWN SARASOTA.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Gardens is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Gardens' tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2018. Management has evaluated the effect of an accounting standard relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management has determined that the Garden had no uncertain income tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. The Garden's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for three years after the federal income tax returns were filed.</ExplanationTxt>
