Signs of spring inspire society to start a new chapter. Around the home, a blooming garden is a telltale sign the season has sprung. Plus, gardening offers a bounty of opportunities to get outdoors and be active. Lowe’s is ready to support green thumbs and home improvement enthusiasts around the country by giving away free garden kits all month long. But that’s not all! Here’s what you need to know to take advantage of the month ahead.
SpringFest
Every week in April, Lowe’s will celebrate “SpringFest,” giving people who register in advance the opportunity to win different themed kits. According to a press release from Lowe’s, the goal is to “help homeowners channel their confidence.” Along with giveaways, Springfest will offer deals and product demonstrations, like lawn care maintenance with Scotts and paint demos with The Sherwin-Williams Company. There will also be a campaign called “Hometrip” that offers insight on transforming a home into a destination.
“With 55 percent of homeowners surveyed inspired to upgrade their outdoor entertaining in creative ways, SpringFest will offer everything they need to satisfy spring fever,” the press release stated.
