November Ushers In a Wonderful Holiday Season in Laguna Beach’s HIP District

Oct. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Laguna Beach best shopping is found throughout the HIP District, where both locals and tourists discover treasures for holiday gift-giving.  The HIP District is located South on Pacific Coast Highway between the streets of Anita and Bluebird Canyon.
The Laguna Nursery’s events don’t slow down for the holidays. This month they have three fantastic events, plus their popular Garden Walk series will continue. Start November off with a workshop at Laguna Nursery on the 6th, from 3-5PM, and learn how to make a stunning Holiday Gift Basket to give as a gift or to use for your own holiday decorating. The $50 fee includes the basket, an orchid, flowering plants and all the trimmings. You’re welcome to bring the kids, as they have a special station for them to create an ornament while you focus on the workshop.
Don’t miss the Laguna Nursery’s annual Fall Cabaret on November 12, from 7-10PM, with live piano, wine and hors d’ouevres. $35 for tickets in advance and $45 at the door. But don’t drink too much, as you’ll want to be fresh for the LotusLand Adventure, where $175 gets you transported to the 37-acre Santa Barbara estate, snacks, lunch and a tour of the phenomenal grounds. Not one to be missed! Call (949) 494-5200 to buy tickets. And for those wanting to stay closer to home, November’s Laguna Nursery Garden Walks start at 10AM or 1PM on the 6th. 20th and 27th.  Details for the LotusLand and Garden Walks can be found on http://www.facebook.com/lagunanursery

Don’t forget to order Thanksgiving and holiday centerpieces and arrangements, and the English Garden is also available for decorating your home or business for any holiday this season.
Just in time for the gift-giving season, the Vintage Poster Gallery is offering 20% off all custom framing for Laguna locals. And, for the shutterbugs out there, stop by the Art Center between November 20th-24th at 1492 S. Coast Highway and take photos in their Autumn Style decoration in the courtyard.
