Current Obsessions: New Traditions

Of note this weekend? Cozy cotton sheets, a new Paris pied-a-terre, plant bingo, and more:

• “Some friends of Gardenista are hosting an event at the Garden Museum in London, and only one of them is British,” Kendra cheekily tells us. “Landscape gardener Jinny Blom will be in discussion with Janet Mavec, whom Blom describes as the Katharine Hepburn of gardening. They will be talking about Bird Haven Farm, Mavec’s home in New Jersey, where she persuaded the Spanish designer Fernando Carruncho to guide its direction. See you on March 17.”
• Art from nature in nature is just sublime, no?
• Doug Tallamy’s Homegrown National Park group has teamed up with My Home Park to offer custom ecological garden designs and pre-designed keystone garden kits. Now through March 3, get 20 percent off with code HNP20. (Hat tip: Laura.)
• Spotted some cool-looking habitat piles on Insta: this nesting high-rise in Denver and this dead hedge fence in Brussels.
