Midweek with Greg

"Tool Maintenance"
Greg Paige, Director of Horticulture

  • Wednesday, October 11, 2023 – 3:00 pm–3:30 pm

The excitement that fills us when it's time to work in the garden often eclipses the sense of duty we feel to keep our tools clean and sharp, and tool maintenance can perennially find its way into the "I'll do it later" bin. But proper tool maintenance not only keeps our fingers safe from dull blades that like to slip, but also contributes to the health and well-being of our plants. Join us for this Midweek with Greg where our Director of Horticulture will show you how to maintain your tools, and discuss the myriad reasons not to let this critical task fall through the cracks.
