Every Saturday
morning businesses from
around Paso congregate in the downtown park to
present their products. There are many local
farmers selling at the vegetable stands as well.
Here are a few people who brought their business
to town this week.

We
enjoy many hummingbirds in our back yard
in the SE part of Paso Robles.
This
hummingbird is drinking our homemade
mixture of water and sugar (with a bit
of red dye). It's 4 parts water to 1
part sugar.

Roots)
Martha
does fantastic work at home making
beautiful cards with dried plants. You
can often find Martha in the downtown
Square on Saturday mornings.
Lisa and Larry Hanson of Paso Robles
started their candle business a few
years ago. These candles are special
because they are made from beeswax that
is free of chemical dyes. Color
variations are achieved naturally.
There is something special
about this business. My wife and I
always take our personal visitors there
to taste test a large variety of olives.
Christine (pictured) told me this
business is run by three families. This
one is very worth seeing. It is about 15
minutes west of the downtown area on
Route 46. Visit the Websitefor more info.

I was
glad to find the Golden Hill Nursery within a
few miles of my house. The owner, Don Whitmore,
was very hospitable when I told him about this
new website. This business has much of what you
need for a great home garden including veggie
and flower plants, lots of pots of all sizes and
composition and garden accessories. Check it
out!
