Denise M. Gonzalez recommends thaat you contact your local tree trimmer for free natural non-painted mulch. They usually have to pay to get rid of their waste so you would be doing them a favor. However, you may be in store for large amounts only, so it might be best to team up with neighbors or friends to get rid of such a large amount.
Want to see Michael Jackson immortalized with his chimp? The Broad Museum in downtown LA, filled with billionaire Eli Broad’s collection of icons of contemporary art, has just released a new batch of free tickets. Admission to the main galleries are always free, but they sell out well in advance, and the wait line if you don’t have an advance ticket is long and tiresome. Kids like the humorous pieces like Jeff Koon’s life-style porcelain “Michael Jackson and Bubbles.” And note that this is across the street from Walt Disney Concert Hall. Learn more: thebroad.org
