Spring Garden Tips

Spring is in the air.  I don’t know about you, but I’m itching to get out there and plant something!  Before you do, check Boulder County Home and Garden Magazine’s tips for your spring landscaping.

There’s a lot to think about, from irrigation and sizes, to overall budget considerations!

Kids’ Theater

If you have a little lover of the theater, bring them on out to see the Kids Kabaret at the Boulder Dinner Theater.  Geared towards the 3-10  yr old set, performances include an opportunity for a couple of audience members to participate and  a question and answer session with the actors. Currently running is a great version of Jack and the Beanstalk!  And for only $8 a ticket, it’s a great chance to see if they’re ready to sit through a performance.

Boulder Dinner Theater is at 5501 Arapahoe.

Pastries on the Path

Pastries on the Path: Community Cycles and Boulder Food Rescue team up to provide coffee and treats to bike commuters. The event, inspired by a similar event in Portland, Oregon called “Breakfast on the Bridges” is a simple gesture to thank bike commuters for braving the possibly hazardous spring conditions and riding their bikes. Pastries, Bagels and Cake (cake for breakfast!?), are rescued Thursday night from area bakeries’ surpluses, and coffee is provided by Conscious Coffee roasters.

April 6 they are sponsoring a stop on the Boulder Creek Path @ 13th St.
