Garden Show at South Coast Plaza

The 30th Annual Southern California Spring Garden Show at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa is happening this month! This beautiful event runs April 25 through April 28, 2019. During its visit,, guests will be able to see 50 different plants and vendors.

There are also inspiring display gardens throughout South Coast Plaza which you would love to just take home or redo your backyard. Also, don’t miss the 25-foot floral centerpiece “Under the Sea”, located on level 1 in the Crate and Barrel/ Macy’s Home Store wing.

There are plenty of Instagram-friendly spots throughout the show. Start with the 25-foot Under the Sea Display. It’s super colorful and stunning. The coral reefs are made of orange lentil and purple dendrobium orchids. There’s also dehydrate carrots, Calla Lillies, coral toned roses, walnut shells, and other flowers. It’s an amazing masterpiece.

There are 50 different plants and vendors, and because of this, the whole mall smells like a garden.

The entire show is located at South Coast home store wing. The three levels are filled with vendors and gorgeous flowers. We started from the bottom, and moved our way up to see everything, and while exploring the levels, they also had backyard gardens on display. It gave us inspiration. Leading Landscape did a beautifully job on each display and we couldn’t pick which one was our favorite… they were all just glamorous!!!

This event also features 20 complimentary children’s events and crafts, and daily seminars presented by industry professionals. See below for the full schedule.
