THE GATE & GARDEN TOUR
05.01.18
The charming, tree-lined streets of South Laguna are the venue for this year’s Laguna Beach Garden Club “Gate & Garden Tour” on Friday, May 4, a fundraiser for educational school gardens, scholarships, and community projects.
The 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. event features ten fancy and fanciful private gardens along a three-quarter-mile walking route and includes a quarter-acre formal garden with ocean views. The final stop is the thriving South Laguna Community Garden Park.
Fun is in the air as the tour takes place on the “Eve of Cinco de Mayo” and offers margaritas and Mexican fare, free refreshments, plein air painters in several gardens, and a raffle of prizes from local artists and businesses.
Tour tickets are $45 in advance and available at LagunaBeachGardenClub.org and Laguna Beach Books, Laguna Drug, Laguna Nursery, Tides Inn, and Dana Point Nursery. On May 4, $50 tickets will be available at the tour’s starting point: Arabella Laguna Historic Cottages, 506 N. Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, which is the location of the registration and reception areas.
On May 4, buses will continuously shuttle tourgoers from Arabella Laguna to the first garden and back at the end of the walking route. The last shuttle leaves Arabella at 2 p.m.

California Dreaming with Nathan Turner
05.01.18
Serena & Lily at Lido Marina Village is hosting a special book signing of I Love California with acclaimed designer Nathan Turner on Thursday, May 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. You can stop by to try recipes from his new best-seller while he shares entertaining tips for the summer season. Turner describes his book as a love letter to his home state.
“I drove up and down Highway 1, from the redwoods of northern San Francisco, to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, to the beaches of Southern California, collecting simple recipes for California comfort food, like my family’s Cioppino, Marinated Tri-tip Steak, Mexican Chocolate Cake, and more. I have also included my tips for entertaining, featured alongside never-before-seen interiors," says Turner on nathanturner.com.
"The recipes and decor here are inspired by my home state, but really it’s a state of mind. Whether you are entertaining friends and dining with family, or just wishing to visit the sun-dappled coast, now you can create this dreamy California lifestyle anywhere."
You can RSVP at storeevents@serenaandlily.com
3636 Newport Blvd. in Lido Marina Village.
