Hopefully the right person sees this and the Sarasota Garden Club takes back their garden from letting the Bay rent it out! The Bay has no information regarding pricing on their website. Two months ago I called and sent an email inquiry and never heard back. I had to track them down and go in person. I just wanted to have a 4 person wedding ceremony in the garden and take some photos (no reception, I wasn’t going to bring in any chairs or decor or anything like that). John from the Bay told me that they don’t really do that, they only rent out the building as well at a charge of something like $400 an hour with a minimum of a few hours. He said that because this is a unique situation he would look into it and call me back, which he never did. I’ve left messages for all of the employees there and they don’t return calls. I’ve spoken to people at the Garden Club that said since the Bay took over they charge much more than what they used to charge. Sarasota Graden Club: your little gem of a garden deserves much better representation and management than the Bay Park… please consider taking it back.

You’re literally lying in your response to me! The land of the Sarasota Garden Club is owned by the city of Sarasota and it is FREE to go there to take pictures! You thieves tried renting out the city’s land to me for thousands of dollars. I’ll be filing a complaint with the city.
