The Gardenista team joined us in LA this week to get ready for Saturday’s Remodelista Market at Big Daddy’s (come one, come all, this year there’s a dedicated Gardenista section). Meanwhile, they’ve been prepping for the holidays. Take a look at their finds.

• Make your own wreath–this one is fashioned from exotic (but easy to source) air plants, orchids, and juniper. Learn how from The Wreath Recipe Book, today’s Required Reading.
• In Restaurant Visit, Cheryl joins the beautiful people and palms at chef Roy Choi’s splashed-out greenhouse canteen on a hotel rooftop in LA’s Koreatown.
• The place for your gilded acorns? How about a Living Christmas Tree that you festoon inside and then plant in the backyard? Allow Justine–whose giant thuja is shown here–to fill you in on the details.
