Get your garden tools, knives sharpened at pop-up event

A sharp blade cuts down on time – as well as whatever you’re pruning. And after a full winter of trimming trees (or rose bushes), your tools likely could use some TLC.

Here’s your chance to get specialty garden tool sharpening all in one place in one day – just in time for more work this spring.

On Thursday, March 6, Green Acres Nursery & Supply in Elk Grove will host a pop-up event with Reliable Sharpening. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., get your tools sharpened and ready for more action. No reservations necessary.

“It’s time to sharpen your garden tools!” says Green Acres. “We are hosting David from Reliable Sharpening, a seasoned expert with 15 years of experience in precision metal sharpening. He knows exactly how to get your loppers and pruners in tip-top shape for spring. Just bring your garden tools to the nursery, and David will handle the sharpening while you browse and shop.”

David will sharpen kitchen knives and scissors, too, as well as woodworking tools. Prices range from $3 per inch for knives to $10 for loppers, pruners or snips. Shears sharpening: $20. Ax blades, tillers or maddocks: $15 each. Woodworking chisels: $20 each.

Green Acres is located at 9220 E. Stockton Blvd., Elk Grove.
