Bring your tools, learn how and then make them like new.
Each winter for the past 9 years we've come to gardeners'
get-togethers to help you make your tools like new. We demonstrate
how to, then help you get to it in work space provided by the party
host. Try your hand on your own tools so you can start this spring
with clean, sharp tools. The company is grand -- gardeners bearing
their favorite tools, settin' a spell with others and chatting
while working.

4/9/12
