THINK PINK
Gardening for a cause
You’ve got the green thumb, now get the pink tools. In support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Tagawa Gardens is stocking an array of Garden for the Cause tools. Each features high carbon steel and heat-treated blades to stay sharp longer, anti-friction handles and rust coating. Research indicates that more than 200,000 women and 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Even so, it’s estimated that 13 million U.S. women over 40 have never had a mammogram. Tagawa Gardens is located at 7711 S. Parker Road, Centennial. 303-690-4722 or tagawagardens .
