Current Obsessions: The Water Garden

What we’re taking note of this week, from a master class with a gardening rock star to a luxurious plant-fiber scrub towel and more.

• Now you can take design lessons from landscape designer Piet Oudolf himself, plus get a bird’s-eye view of his most well-known work: New York City’s High Line park.
• Alexa’s late-winter obsession is the Binu Binu Korean Scrub Towel made of textured plant fibers. With the sesame scrub soap, it’s the closest thing to a bathhouse experience at home.
• Have you been keeping score? We’ve added nearly a dozen new plant guides to our Garden Design 101 library this month, including tips to grow and care for Camellias, Palms, Bromeliads, Prayer Plants, and Calla Lilies.
• In the Portland, Oregon area? We like the sound of this workshop at one of our favorite plant shops. Go to create a living centerpiece, stay for the complimentary wine.
• Coming soon to Netflix: Marie Kondo.
• Finally, good-looking utility buckets for indoors and out.
• And: a look at where our longtime-favorite brushes are made.
• Plus, what’s your favorite houseplant? We want to know.
