Earth Day is on Thursday and there’s no better place to soak in Mother Nature and all her glory than South Coast Botanic Garden. And lucky for us, the Garden is truly showing off this week with stunning new blooms. Splashes of yellow, pink, blue, purple and orange will catch your eye throughout our 87 acres.  Sunflowers, golden trumpet trees, sparkle and shine floribunda roses, and Parodia warasii are all new blooms that will bring the sunshine to your life with warm and sunny yellows while the Irises in Memorial Meadow will make you feel like royalty. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below and then make sure to purchase your tickets in advance to pay your respects to Mother Earth.
