🌱 Do you need a new tool to fight the war on weeds in your garden?

Tuesday night is your chance!

Local gardeners have spent the summer putting a variety of unique garden tools to the test—and now they're ready to share what they’ve learned.

Come see the tools in action, hear what local gardeners think, and learn whether one of these tools might make your time in the garden a little easier.

🎉 And the best part?

Every attendee will be entered into a raffle to win one of the tools at the end of the night!

10 folks will leave with a new, unique garden tool.

Come learn. Come try the tools. Maybe leave with a new favorite garden tool!
