Tool sharpening basics for secateurs and spades
Join our curator for a relaxed drop-in, learn-as-you-go workshop on sharpening essential garden tools. You’ll learn how to sharpen secateurs and spades, plus get expert tips on choosing the right secateurs for different gardening jobs.
We’ll also cover how to safely dismantle, sharpen, and reassemble your own secateurs, so you can keep them cutting cleanly and comfortably at home. Sharp tools make gardening easier, safer, and better for your plants—once you know how, you’ll never look back.
This is a free workshop, suitable for beginners, with no bookings required. Workshop will be held in the Logan Campbell Building.
