2023-02-18 14:00 - 16:00
The Piedmont Master Gardeners will offer a primer on easy-to-find as well as odd, little-known, but handy tools for tending the yard and garden—from socks and gloves to clippers and tree-extraction tools. This free Garden Basics session will cover:
• caring for your tools;
• where to buy them; and
• how, when, and where to use them properly.
Space is limited. See below to register and reserve a place in the class. Garden Basics is a partnership with the Bread and Roses ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church.
