No Tree Donations at REI
Having heard about the man-made brook and aspen grove at Denver’s REI store, we decided to stop in for a visit. The brook and trees were delightful, but the real surprise was on the inside. If you walk through the front doors and turn left, looking up over your left shoulder you will see an excellent selection of artificial evergreen trees! There must be at least a dozen varieties on the mezzanine, but REI was not willing to part with any of the trees, despite our request that they donate one to the Porta Hedge to fill in the bare spots that have developed on our tour.
