Just a reminder about next Saturday’s pruning class (11 am). This can be a challenging issue for homeowners – where to cut, when to cut, how to cut, and WHY? Lyle Feilmeier from Collier Arbor Care will be here to answer all your questions. Space is still available, so let us know if you’d like to register for this free class. (503-649-4568, or email at events@farmingtongardens.com).
As an added bonus, and to get you all ready for the season ahead, we’ll have a professional tool sharpener here to bring your tools up to speed (he’ll be here from 10:30 till he’s finished). The first 50 customers will get one pruner sharpened free of charge. These are the prices Harold has given me for most items; these may vary depending on the condition and size of the item. Checks and cash only, please; no credit cards for sharpening services.
- pruner ~ $4
- lopers ~ $6
- mower blades (removed) ~ $6 each (he is not able to do the old-fashioned push mower types)
- shovels ~ $3
- hoes ~ $2
- scissors ~ $4
- knives ~ $4
- hand trowel ~ $1
I don’t know about you, but I can hardly wait to get all my tools sharpened – such an opportunity!
