Plant A Pinwheel Garden
Nearly 700,000 children are abused in the U.S annually according to the National Children's Alliance. Ralston House offers blue pinwheel gardens to be displayed throughout April for Child Abuse Prevention Month. This is a great way to show your support for children and families in our community.
​
Plant Your Own Pinwheel Garden
Planting pinwheels represents the happy, healthy childhoods we want for all children.
​Every year, the Ralston House plants pinwheel gardens around the Denver Metro Area to help raise awareness for child abuse prevention. This year, we are asking you to join us in our "Get One. Give One." program by planting a pinwheel garden of your own and then donating a garden to a school, church, or local business.
​Pinwheel Gardens are $250 per bundle of 50 with a yard sign.
Your garden will be delivered by Ralston House within one week of ordering.​​​
Individual Pinwheels may be purchased for $5 each onsite at specific events throughout April.
