Celebrate National Garden Month this April

The entire month of April is dedicated to gardens and gardening thanks to the National Gardening Association, a Vermont-based national nonprofit leader in garden-based education that created the month as a way to educate and encourage others about the value of gardening for food and to help the earth regenerate.   Tied to Earth Day, this special gardening month is about celebrating gardens of all kinds and getting more people to plant them in their backyards, patios, balconies and community plots. This is a great opportunity for you to help out around the Denver area as the city continues to focus on regeneration, the environment, and healthy living even in urban areas. As a local florist in the Denver area, we have been supporting National Garden Month for many years, helping on the local level with community events as well as encouraging more people to buy flowers, plants, and blooming plants.
