Things to Do in Scottsdale AZ: Another Beautiful Saturday in Old Town Scottsdale
Here is a Guest Post from Joyce Tawes - Associate Broker - Realty ONE Group Scottsdale
Another beautiful day in Scottsdale and a return visit to the Farmers' Market in Old Town Scottsdale
__________________________________________________________________
Many of the winter visitors to Scottsdale have headed home as witnessed by the thinning crowds on the streets of Old Town. With that said, there was still a huge turnout for the weekly Saturday morning Downtown Scottsdale Farmers' Market. On this visit, I noted more booths with tantalizing foods for tasting or lunch as well as a larger variety of baked goods.
As
we strolled through the market we had several opportunities to stop and
chat with the vendors. I enjoy doing this, as I always learn something
new. For instance, a local honey maker showed us an article
on the demise of honey bees due to a pesticide being used on corn that
was developed in Europe. He commented that one of the local growers had
lost his entire colony of honey-producing bees due to the pesticide.
He’s promised to give me a full tutorial on my next visit down with
photos and articles to describe what is going on.
There was also a new booth filled with small containers of succulent plants and cacti.
Susan Tyrrel doesn’t have a store and sells her plants out of her home
and at Farmers' Markets. I thought you’d enjoy seeing some of the
smaller plants in full bloom. They are great to put on a small table,
or transplant into your garden where they will add a little color at
this time of the year.
You can’t go to the Farmers Market without a stroll through the courtyard of Bischoff’s Shades of the West located
across the street. heir gardens are lush and shaded and I couldn’t
resist sharing photos of some of their wonderful sculptures. We
finished off with a quick tour of the Old Scottsdale Schoolhouse and headed home. Another great day!
