Among the things we’ve bookmarked on the eve of Earth Day: a weekly flower pop-up in Dobbs Ferry, a native plants sale, and the season’s most anticipated (and morbid) bloom. Take a look.
![Alexa is noting a new line of chairs by fashion house Marni, designed as part of Salone del Mobile in collaboration with a community of women in Villanueva, Colombia. The chairs, along with the rest of the collection, are available only in Milan at Viale Umbria 42 through Sunday (April 22)—and we think they’d look just as cheerful outdoors as in.](http://www.gardenista.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/marni-chairs-salone-del-mobile-4-733x412.jpg)
- In case you missed it: we went live on Facebook with architects Jess Thomas and Andrea Fish of Brooklyn-based Shapeless Studio. Check out our tour of Thomas’s own “sentimental minimalism” brownstone (one of our most popular posts of the year on Remodelista) here.
- All eyes are on Spike, Chicago’s famous corpse plant—will it boom this year? Watch the live webcam to find out.
- Calling all East Bay readers: check out this native (and drought tolerant) plants sale, today in Berkeley from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
- Tomorrow at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden: gardens and poems.
- This city is transforming a golf course into a botanical garden.
- Two new cookbooks on Margot’s radar: The Palestinian Table by Reem Kassis and Japan: The Cookbook by Nancy Singleton Hachisu, who describes herself as “a California native living on an organic Japanese farm since 1988.”
![And, Margot let us know about At Land, a new shop (and coffee and tea bar) on Main Street in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Of note: the shop’s Flower Fridays, with bouquets on offer from local florists and flower arranging workshops. Shown here: last week’s pop-up by @thefloralsociety.](http://www.gardenista.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-floral-society-at-land-733x979.jpg)
