Rachel Ianni lived in many places. But she always loved south Louisiana.

“She took all kinds of volunteer jobs and internships just to travel to different places,” said Quenton Fontenot, who was Ianni’s thesis adviser when she was a master’s degree student at Nicholls State University. “She wanted to make the biggest difference in the world that she could, and she knew that to do that she had to get as much experience in as many places as she could.”

Ianni’s project was monitoring alligator gar that had been released to combat an accidental release of tilapia near Port Sulphur. The work was often hard and dirty. Ianni hauled her own boat and equipment in the back of her truck.

Butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers didn’t make it out to the Lodi Home and Garden Show this weekend, but it seems as though every other local company selling home improvement goods sure did. From bath fittings and cabinet-makers to flooring, shower and screen doors to high-end pots and pans and no end of gourmet sauces and marinades, the show was an expo of creative options to spruce up the home.

Lodi homeowners turned out by the hundreds, and 95 business owners were eager to show off their wares.

Tim Contrestano, of Fresno, doled out samples of Glory Jeanne Honey, made from local honeybees. From buckwheat to sunflower and pomegranate, Contrestano had a wide range of flavors to choose from.

Manuel Guzman manned a booth filled to bursting with plants from Hollandutch Nursery on Davis Road.

“There’s not so many sales today, but people will call later, they will come by the nursery later. Today is for information, coupons and to get ideas,” he said.

Shannon Taylor and Dawn Root from Reno were selling the ingenious water beads. Small pellets transform into glossy orbs perfect for keeping flowers hydrated or filling vases for decoration.

Gourmet oils and vinegars were readily available. Ken Le Loup offered lime coconut blends, traditional garlic, and unconventional Hennesey and Kahlua varieties on small blue spoons to passersby.

Mike Engle, owner of Urban Blue water efficient landscaping, was eager to get his name and brand in front of customers before the rush of spring landscaping projects got started. He said it was well worth the $700 for a three-day booth.

Browsers took a break from perusing vendor booths for a lunch break outside, where six food trucks had formed a kind of battle arena.
