Spring is in the air! Well, sort of...
It's still February, but March is only a couple of days away, and with March comes the hope of spring and green things growing in Golden!
First up is the annual tree sale, which opens on March 1 and runs through April 15, or until all the trees are sold. This is a great way to get trees that do well in Golden at a really good price. Keep scrolling to learn more!
Also starting on March 1 is the Garden in a Box program.
Every spring, the City of Golden and
Resource Central
offer an easy, fun and affordable way to create beautiful, water-conserving gardens through the purchase of a Garden In A Box kit. And what's better, as a City of Golden water customer, you are eligible for a $25 discount while supplies last. Learn more on our Water Conservation page.
Help us celebrate the hint of spring in the air and take our
Guiding Golden Quick Poll Quiz to guess how many trees the City of Golden planted last year. We'll give you the answer after you guess.
Have a great week!
