Proper care and maintenance of your garden hand tools prolongs their life and keeps them in good working order. Both everyday tasks and seasonal tasks are essential to making sure your tools are clean, sharp, and ready for use. Join Josh Williams, Garden Manager, for a demonstration and hands-on workshop all about daily and seasonal maintenance of your garden hand tools. Learn how to properly clean, hone, sharpen, and oil your tools, and more.

You should bring 1-2 of your own hand tools (pruners, loppers, shovels, axes, etc.), please no power tools. You will practice maintenance tasks on your own tools, with guidance and support from Josh, and leave the workshop with cleaned and sharpened tools. Oil, rags, steel wool, and sharpeners/files will be provided.
