Tool Care Cleaning at Our Event!

Keeping your garden tools clean, sharp and in good condition is key to efficient gardening. Bring a tool and we'll show you what tool care looks like!

Our Tool Care Team from the UC Master Gardeners of San Diego County will be at our event to clean and sharpen one pair of pruners or loppers per person. Pruners or loppers must be in reasonable working condition (limited rust, operational, no divots or bent blades). Because of time constraints we will sharpen only 2-inch blades or smaller - no hedge shears or serrated edges.
