Linnaea Farm
A sharp blade changes everything.
Clean cuts. Healthier plants. Less strain on your body.

“Stay Sharp” is a hands-on pruner care and sharpening workshop with Bill—designed for anyone working with plants and trees who wants their tools to actually *work*.

You’ll learn:
– how to sharpen safely and effectively
– how to maintain your pruners for the long haul
– what a truly sharp tool should feel like in your hand

Bring your own pruners if you’ve got them.
Come get your edge back.

This workshop is part of our Tool & Skill Share next weekend—a full day of practical learning, tool care, and community knowledge-sharing.
