Let’s call a spade a spade. Or is that actually a shovel? And how do you keep your spades (shovels?) in good condition?

Gardening tools are made to last, but they require proper care and maintenance. In this hands-on workshop you’ll get an overview of all the various tools you may encounter in the garden, how to use them and how to keep them clean and sharp.

Bring your own trusty tools from home or practice with the ones provided. You’ll leave feeling confident in garden tool care and ready to save money by making your tools last a lifetime.

INSTRUCTOR: Julie Dennewitz, CGC Horticulturist

Active CGC volunteers can take this class for $15!
