Tending the garden
Set aside more than a few hours if you plan to see the entire Washington Home & Garden Show at the Washington Convention Center. With 24 fully landscaped indoor gardens and more than 800 booths, the show could be an all-day affair. Everything kicks off today and runs through Sunday. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. today and tomorrow, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 6 to 12, free for children under 5. 801 Mount Vernon Place NW.
Indie orchestra
David Bazan, Vic Chestnutt, Mark Eitzel and Will Johnson have taken a break from their own established indie rock bands to form the Undertow Orchestra. On Friday and Saturday at Iota Club and Cafe, this oddly formed quartet will perform one another's songs and serve as the others' backup musicians. Acoustic troubadour Jesse Harris opens the show on Saturday. Showtime is 9:30 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $15. 2832 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. 703/522-8340.
Back again
It's been five years since Ricky Martin released his last English-language album, 2000's "Sound Loaded." It sold more than 5 million copies, but fans had to wait until last October for his "Life," an 11-song pop kaleidoscope that includes music and artists from India, Brazil and the Bronx. Mr. Martin shares some of his new songs along with some old tunes tonight at DAR Constitution Hall. Showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets are $50.50 to $76. 18th and D streets Northwest. 202/397-SEAT.
