Pruning season is around the corner, and it鈥檚 time to fine-tune those dull gardening implements. A 91原创 nursery will help residents do just that while raising money for the local food bank.
Through their annual tool sharpening campaign, Cedar Rim Nursery invites residents to bring their tools into the store and have experts tune them for the upcoming gardening season.
The service will be provided for a minimum of $5 donation per tool. All proceeds will benefit the 91原创 Food Bank, said Amanda Trewarn, store manager. Last year the nursery raised $2,000 through the tool sharpening campaign, and this year they are hoping to raise at least the same amount.
Trewarn added that a lot of people in the community use the food bank鈥檚 services, and hence it was important to help them in any way possible.
