3 Ways Denver Residents Can Get Free Trees

Trees are good for humans and the environment. They provide shade, help with air quality, keep the ecosystem thriving and more. But sometimes it feels as if we are fighting a losing battle. Between Emerald Ash Borer and other diseases, as well as pollution and development, we’re losing our green canopy. Denver property owners have three ways to qualify for free trees that you can plant on your property in the public right-of-way. [Read more…] about 3 Ways Denver Residents Can Get Free Trees

Need to Send Flowers? Get $15 Credit & Free Shipping

garden flowersI love sending flowers to friends and family for special occasions or just as a surprise for no reason at all, but I don’t always love the expense — especially when you tack on delivery and handling charges. That’s why I’m a big fan of the The Bouqs Co. online flower shop.

Not only do bouquets start at a reasonable $40, but orders always include FREE standard shipping — just create an account. Plus, it’s an easy three-step checkout — no annoying upsells with every click. (No, I don’t want to add a teddy bear or box of chocolates for $15!) The company cuts the flowers from its farms and delivers them directly to your loved one, so they get the freshest bouquet possible. (This means delivery occurs just 2 to 4 days after their cut. Other places may take up to two weeks.)

First-time customers can use this link to receive a $15 credit with their first order. I have used the service several times and my recipients have always very happy with the flowers…our wallet was happy, too. Remember, the promo is only available to first-time customers.
