National Bike to Work Day

Tomorrow is National Bike to Work Day!

What better place to bike everywhere than Bike Town U.S.A., right here in Fort Collins? If you'll be biking to work through Old Town (downtown) Fort Collins, take a quick detour past Paul Wood Florist on Olive Street, west of College Avenue, and see what we've done with the place for spring.

We're even able to wrap flowers so they stay safe if you need to slip them into a backpack while you're on your bike, so don't let your mode of transportation tomorrow slow you down from picking something out!

Stay safe tomorrow!

Colorado State University Commencement takes place at the end of the week, on Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17. Graduation ceremonies take place throughout the weekend. If you need flowers for a graduate, call or come in to place your order.

Remember, for specific flower and color requests --- for example, if you'd like us to use green and yellow flowers for Colorado State University colors --- order as early as possible so we can ensure your satisfaction with the freshest product available.

Go Rams!
