Gallery showcase: The Ayana Bath Caddy

Our friend Ms Lady Goats has done it again!  She literally built this fine friend the day it posted!  I adore the color, and I’m pretty fond of the final use for it, that she settled on…

STOCKTON - The City of Stockton was awarded over $568,000 in grant funds for landscaping improvements for a 3-acre bike and pedestrian trail along March Lane from Pershing Avenue to Precissi Lane, south of Delta College.

Improvements will include street trees, turf, shrubs and an educational garden with information for city residents about plants that thrive in the valley climate.

"I am proud of this project," said Councilwoman Diana Lowery, who was apart of the planning process for improving the March Lane corridor. "It is an excellent example of the city, community partners and the state working in concert."
