Did You Know?

The mulch at our giveaway is made from tree branches and holiday trees residents recycled through Denver’s Treecycle collection program.
Compost is a nutrient-rich soil amendment made from decomposed organic material. It can be added to soil to help plants thrive, while reducing water and fertilizer needs! This compost was created from food scraps and yard waste collected by Denver’s Compost Collection Program.

A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.
