Henry and Margaret Plant filled the Tampa Bay Hotel with garden seats from Europe and Asia. They were both decorative and functional. Placed carefully around the grounds, these colorful and whimsical pieces could be used for a guest needing a brief rest while exploring the gardens full of exotic plants. A few were used indoors as plant stands and decorative elements in the hotel solarium. Over forty original garden seats survive. Click on any of the images below for more information on an item.
