10:00am – 10:30am | Free, members onlyIf you’ve taken a members course or workshop recently, you may have admired our nursery potting stations. These multipurpose work stations are just the right height and provide enough space to easily complete a variety of potting and planting jobs.

Using recycled materials, we will create a demonstration table that will be raffled off at the end of the class. Raffle tickets will sold for $5 each.
Naracamicie opened their Walnut Creek location in May of last year but due to the pending Broadway Plaza redevelopment, they have now closed however you can still check them out in San Francisco at 352 Sutter St. Check out their website here.
Back in January I noted that an old building at the corner of N. Broadway and Cypress in downtown Walnut Creek was being demolished to make room for a new building that would house La Soie Bridal Salon on the first floor and they are now open. The entrance is on the Cypress side, and as you can see from the last photo there is still some construction going on at the corner with space available on the second floor, but the bridal salon is open and available for appointments according to a sign in the window. La Soie Bridal also has locations in Pasadena, Sacramento, Torrance and Valencia. Check out their website here.

Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation ARF has opened a temporary popup location where Häagen-Daz used to be next to Macy’s in Broadway Plaza. I’m glad they were able to make use of this space at least for the time being.
The women’s clothing store Coldwater Creek in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek will be closing. The nearest Coldwater Creek location is in the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton according to a sign posted outside.
