2. Children’s author Denise Doyen, who wrote “Once Upon a Twice,” will give a reading and sign books beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday at Whale of a Tale Children’s Bookshoppe near UC-Irvine. “Once Upon a Twice” is an adventure story of a hero mouse, Jam Boy, and his water snake nemesis.

3. Roger’s Gardens is hosting a free seminar at 9 a.m. Saturday called Gardening Naturally: Edibles in the Landscape. The lecture will be the third session of a program designed to help gardeners use fewer resources, and this week’s focus will be tips for incorporating edibles into the landscape. “Envision grape vines on fencing, hanging baskets of strawberries and bold structural vegetables mixed among perennials and shrubs. Create your own natural, organic farmer’s market!” Roger’s Gardens says on its website. Roger’s Gardens is located at 2301 San Joaquin Hills Road. Call (949) 640-5800 for more information.
4. Tacos, anyone? Taco Rosa has launched a happy hour special that runs Monday through Saturday — so you can try it tonight or tomorrow — with half-price menu options and drink specials from 2 to 6 p.m. If you’re more the family type, kids 12 and younger eat for a penny (with the purchase of an adult entree and eat-in only) on Sundays and Mondays from 4 p.m. until closing. Taco Rosa has two locations: in the Newport Hills Shopping Center at 2632 San Miguel Rd., (949) 720 0980; and at The Market Place at 13792 Jamboree Rd. in Irvine, (714) 505-6080.
5. If burgers and shakes sound better, Ruby’s is sponsoring a fundraiser tonight to benefit Harbor View Elementary School’s Spirit Run. Print out a flyer available here, and bring it — and Ruby’s will donate 20 percent of your food and beverage purchases to the school. The benefit runs until 9 p.m. tonight.
