2008 Denver Digs Tree Arbor Day Tree Sale!
City of Denver Free Mulch Giveaway!

These are two great way to spruce up your yard, add value to your property and save energy on the cheap. I am planning on buying a few trees and getting the kids involved as sort of easy kid earth day activity, as involved as possible that is. Translation….I’ll be planting and cleaning up the yard while my kids swing, gather twigs, find pill bugs and spiders, and track dirt in the house. You know how it goes! So, mark your calendars and buy a tree or two this year…and don’t forget the mulch a few weeks later.
