Students will learn to maintain and sharpen gardening tools.
Homework assignment to be viewed before coming to Practicum:
Please bring one tool used for cutting and one wood handled tool used in the soil. We will be cleaning, sharpening and restoring some of your own tools for you to learn and replicate at home. If you forget to bring them, don’t worry too much we will have a few extras from the tool shed for folks to practice on.
