We've added a portable bag seeder to our tool rental program! Ideal for planting cover crops, native grasses, and wildflowers, this lightweight seeder is perfect for small-acreage projects. Visit the Washtenaw Tool Bank Collective website to learn more or reserve.

The latest addition to the Washtenaw Tool Bank Collective arsenal is the "Kick-type sod cutter", the perfect tool to transform the lawn into more gardens for native plants, flowers, or vegetables! This tool is more nimble than the power options, and very effective and efficient. Reserve it in advance!
