Pass It On Day Sept. 11 at The Tulip Tree

Just a reminder that Glendale florist Judy Haenel will repeat her annual tradition of giving away thousands of free roses. Haenel said, “this year is the 20th anniversary of Pass It On Day and 14 years since 9/11 and the tragedy in New York City.

We have turned the day into a celebration of being good neighbors and community members, and to honoring all first responders and military members.” Haenel, the owner of The Tulip Tree at 59th Avenue and Bell Road, estimates that by the end of the day, 4,000 flowers will have been distributed at no charge. She invites people 18 and older to come to the shop and pick up a dozen roses apiece. Each person is asked to keep one rose and pass along the other 11 to friends, neighbors, co-workers, or whoever they want to honor or thank with a beautiful flower.
