Upcoming Events

Tool Sharpening Workshop

Join Green Lents and local woodworker Alex Gumpel for a hands-on tool sharpening workshop. Participants will learn how to properly sharpen common garden tools by helping restore our library’s fleet of shovels, loppers, and pruners.  Skills learned will be applicable to sharpening your own tools at home!

This event is free, sponsored by Metro through the Reuse Impact Fund.
