WHILE THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES to rejoice during the holiday season, devotees of Le Jardin Français will revel in the fact that this Parisianstyle floral, garden and event design firm now has a permanent home in the Westside Provisions District (WSPD). Even better, owner and floral designer extraordinaire Marie-Laure Coste Dujols transforms the space into Boutique de Noel for the season, beginning November 17. Known for embracing the beauty of unexpected elements in nature, look for magnolia bud, seeded eucalyptus and lichen and sweet gumball wreaths; preserved boxwood ornaments in varying sizes; birch-bark topiaries; preserved moss letters; and, in keeping with her firm’s sustainable philosophy, terrariums in recycled glass containers. This year, Boutique de Noel plays host to WSPD’s on-going Tinsel & Twine event, featuring Santa visits, fashion-centric pop-up shops and more, starting November 24. lejardinfrancais.com; westsidepd.com 14
