We all want our tools to last and be able to do their job. Let’s give them some TLC at the end of the season. Learn the proper techniques, tools, and materials to sharpen and oil your tools before putting them away for the winter. Feel free to bring one of your own tools for some hands on practice!

Tools we will cover include:
Shears & Clippers
Shovels
Hoes

These workshops are provided for farmers, landowners, backyard & community gardeners, and the general public. This workshop is most applicable to backyard & community gardeners, small farmers, anyone who landscapes their yard.
