For your weekend to-do list: send seeds to LA, read the book on plants that made multiple best-of-year lists, DIY a lamp from a found object, and more.

  • Help re-seed Altadena. (And if you’re in NYC, drop off seeds here or here.)
  • New product drop: “My friend at Waltzing Matilija concocted a new slow-release fertilizer for Proteas. Until now, there wasn’t one in the US specifically designed for them,” says Kier.
  • Plant-o-Rama, an annual symposium, trade show, and career fair, is January 28 at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. (Gardenista favorite Edwina von Gal will be a featured speaker.)
  • To buy or to borrow: The Light Eaters. Says Laura: “It made so many best-books-of-the-year lists.”
  • This nightstand makes my heart go pitter-patter,” says Fan.
  • To file under Buy Secondhand: Did you know Rejuvenation has a vintage shop (incl. furniture, lighting, and more)?
  • This in from our friend, photographer Mary Gaudin: “Matthew Arnold and I have re-printed Down the Long Driveway, You’ll See It, our book of mid-century modern New Zealand homes. It’s been 10 years and we decided it’d be a good time to release a limited edition.”
  • Michele Quan and friends are hosting a seconds sale on Saturday, January 18; info here. Or: Sign up for Michele’s newsletter for a 25 percent discount code, good til midnight Sunday.
  • LA residents in need, stop by the Free Store on Saturday, January 18, put together by @saladforpresident, or Kalon’s Free Market, open Mon-Fri.
  • Minna is holding an archive sale with deep, deep discounts; have a look.
  • The sisters at Block Shop are opening their doors this weekend for workshops, crafts for kids, and community hanging; here’s all the info.
  • Now open: the newly completed Knoll Showroom in NYC; stop in.
  • And a do-it-all bed with lots of extra storage.
  • Two trends to try: round velvet cushions and stainless steel cups.
  • Finally, the eternal question: Will it lamp?
