The atmosphere in this store is amazing. Once you’ve visited, you’ll want to come back. There is quite the selection of books and greeting cards to browse through. Numerous kitchen tools and cookware items are artfully displayed that beg to go home with you. Owners Paul Harris and Terry Warke have done a great job on the layout and choice of the merchandise, with the help of their ‘Sunworkers’.

My favorite part of the store is the selection of over a hundred hot sauces, which occupy their own little room in the back corner. I’m not daring enough to try the hottest of these; I have only sampled a few so far. There are some chili mixes, barbeque sauces and other seasonings in this section as well as a few cookbooks. I’m sure I’m not the only amateur chef that has stood in that little room examining the goods! You can really spice up your cooking with some specialty hot sauce.

Sunworks is a member of 1% For The Planet. Along with an international alliance of companies, they donate one per cent of their revenues to environmental initiatives. For Sunworks, this means that 1% of yearly revenue is donated to the Red Deer and District Community Foundation’s Environmental Legacy Fund. Sunworks Home and Garden has taken part in this green initiative since 2006, yet another reason to support this excellent shop.

If you are in downtown Red Deer, take the time to check out this special store. It is on the north side of Ross Street, and parking is available in front as well as in a lot one street south. Stop in and say hi to Paul or Terry from Tim & Ernie at Red Deer Digest.
