Happy weekend—and a happy holiday to all those celebrating. Fresh on our minds this week? Dressing the bed, actually easy-to-follow gardening tips, and reports from a French garden. Read on…

- If you live in the UK, the most beautiful tulips are now available for purchase at Burnt Fen Flowers. (And they’re pesticide-free to boot.)
- Weekend read: Love Letter to a Garden, by design guru Debbie Millman, featuring recipes by her wife, Roxane Gay.
- Field Studies Flora x Slow Roads? Yes, please. Get a sneak peek of their collection of vintage and antique garden-inspired pieces—available Monday—right here.
- Fence goals.
- Mark your calendars: Registration for Floret’s annual Flower Arranging Workshop for budding florists opens April 21.
- PSA: Looking for easy-to-digest, beginner-friendly landscaping and gardening advice? Follow this garden coach.
- The closest thing to the Ratliffs’ Bosch blender, sourced (no White Lotus spoilers here).
- Your bed deserves as much attention as your wardrobe, according to our friend Hilary Robertson.
- Delighted at this announcement from our friends at Bovina Farm and Fermentory: “Come summertime, we’ll invite you to overstay your dinner all the way through to morning.” Watch this space for updates on their guest rooms.
- A great-looking new rug from Nordic Knots that Fan has her eye on.
- Admiring this new thermal spa and hotel in the PNW.
- Just in from our friend Wayne Pate: “I am pleased to announce my upcoming exhibition of new works on paper with The Finch Project in London May 6-11.” Info here.
- Size doesn’t matter (at least not when it comes to this indoor/outdoor bungalow).
- Pretty napkins for the spring table.
- To be filed under Living the Dream: a mother-daughter duo’s cooking school in the heart of Burgundy, France.
- The reader comment of the week comes from Howard on this 1960s retreat in West Marin: “Holy moly what a delight. Maximalism at its finest.” We agree!
- And a correction: Last week we mentioned a sale going on at Area and included the wrong link. Shop the spring sale online and in the NY store, through April 21 (with finds up to 40 percent off).
- P.S. This first slide is our new mantra.
