Jodi Bay, Master Gardener presents the "Essential Guide to Garden Tools."

Garden hand tools are as important to gardening as seeds and plants. Selecting and using the right tool makes the work easier and safer for the plant and gardener. This presentation reviews the types of tools, their uses and what works for a particular task. Additional topics include adaptive garden tools, varied pricing rationale, safety and cleaning and sharpening maintenance.
