Is it really already nearing the end of April? If you are banking on this month’s showers to bring May flowers, we’ve got some deals to help you get outside and dig. Something the kids can help with, too. And in celebration of Earth Day, a sweet deal.
No need to fear that some tree blossoms have fallen due to last week’s wind and rain. The Home Depot is offering 4.33” Vigoro Annuals for $3.97. Stock up and have instant spring blooms in your yard.
Need a few more greens for the garden? Head to Behnke’s. If you visit their website, there is a 20 percent off coupon you can print for Customer Appreciation Day, this Wednesday. See their website for details.
Want something for the kids to do while you are outside working in the yard?
Just check out the Outdoor Play category on Overstock for deals on everything from swing sets to play tents.
If that’s not enough, get the little ones their own tools for the yard, even a little gardening bag or bucket to carry with them at this adorable website. Want to teach them more about how to garden green? Check out a book called the Good Growing Book. It even comes with little pots to help seeds grow indoors or out.
Want to reward the kids (and yourself) for some hard work in the yard and still do something good for the environment? Head to Sprinkles Cupcakes in Georgetown today through Friday for their Eat Cupcake and Help Plant a Tree promotion. All the proceeds from their vanilla cupcakes go to local tree planting and environmental care organizations and in Washington, D.C. they chose AWS. Visit the Sprinkles website for more information.
