  • What time is the tool sharpening service available? 9:30am to 3:30pm.
  • Where are the tools sharpened? Tools are sharpened in the car park under the Renew Sharpening Services marquee located just outside the main entrance at the bottom of the steps.
  • How long does it take to sharpen tools/knives? Tools and knives are sharpened whilst you wait and will depend on the item and how many are being sharpened. Whilst you wait, take a stroll through the garden centre and see what catches your eye. We also have the Sol-e-Mio café with a great selection of food and drinks.
