“Gardenia Eco” is a candle and gift shop run by Aiva and Jānis, where almost everyone who steps in exclaims, “Oh, how fragrant!” For 10 years, the family has hand-poured soy wax and rapeseed oil candles in various shapes, scents, and color schemes in Vecpiebalga. In addition to their own candles and room diffusers, you can purchase everything needed for candle-making at home and find local artisan products – from textiles to ceramics and paper goods. Candle-making workshops are also offered to visitors and interested parties.​
