Loan Period
— Why we lend
Good tools, shared widely.
Our tool library lends gardening and project equipment to anyone in the community — so caring for the land doesn't depend on owning a shed full of gear you'll rarely use.
The collection was purchased through grants that specified one thing clearly: these tools are to be made available to the public whenever they're needed. So they are.
We provide gardening tools for everyone to borrow — so people can care for their gardens while cutting the waste of buying things once. Our goal is to empower people to make the changes they want or need.
