Experience the joy of the holidays with a variety of events at the South Coast Botanic Garden. There will be new seasonal plantings from the moment you walk through the Garden’s gates and can’t-miss photo opportunities, including our twist on iconic pine trees. Shop for the holidays, or for yourself, at our kiosk in Palm Circle, which will have a whole new look and merchandise for the season. Merry + Bright will be sprinkled through all of the Garden’s offerings during this time, including Nature POP! and food and beverage at Dottie’s. Tis the season to be ‘merry’ and ‘bright,’ no matter what holiday you celebrate! See the website for the full schedule of events.

First Fridays at the Natural History Museum
Join us this season as we explore the unseen forces that shape the behaviors of life forms large and small. From reproduction and propagation in the natural world to the sex life of other species, we’ll untangle the constructs of gender, feelings, and pheromones. We’ll also explore some of the predicaments facing all species of life, including over- and under-population, and offer doable solutions that we can all participate in to help maintain ecological stability.
