The 34rd Annual Southern California Spring Garden Show takes place April 25-28 at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. The four-day show on three levels of the west wing of South Coast Plaza centers around a dramatic 25-foot-high floral creation with whimsical depictions of sea life on a coral reef, all made with flowers, seeds, and other natural materials.
Eight stylish and sustainable outdoor living vignettes are waiting to be discovered on level one of the Crate &amp; Barrel/Macy’s Home Store wing. Created by Southern California’s top design experts collaborating with South Coast Plaza home stores, the water-wise designs offer inspiration for gardens and outdoor spaces.
Levels two and three of the show will feature 35 specialty vendors with unique and collectible plants for sale at pop-up booths and boutiques, as well as nonprofits and horticultural organizations offering advice, insights and information.
Just across the Bridge of Gardens in South Coast Plaza's luxurious Jewel Court wing, Fleurs de Villes ARTISTE features elaborately decorated mannequins and spectacular installations&nbsp;created by local floral artists. Surrounded by boutiques from the world’s most exclusive brands, Fleurs de Villes celebrates the women&nbsp;artists, from contemporary visionaries and trailblazers, to world masters from throughout history.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685-1750) Brandenburg Concerto #5 was composed during the high Baroque. Although the work is uniquely scored for solo flute, solo violin, and solo harpsichord, it is really the first harpsichord concerto ever written and was eventually reworked for the new two manual harpsichord. We are fortunate to have a reproduction harpsichord from well-known Los Angeles harpsichord builder Curtis Berak. Harpsichordist Ian Pritchard (member of Tesserae Baroque—whose home base is in Altadena) will join Larry Kaplan (solo flute) and Agnes Gottschewski (solo violin) with Michael Siess (violin), Kate Vincent (viola), Tina Soule (cello), Steve Edelman (bass). The program will also include music of Mendelssohn and Mozart.
