Gardening is one of the more rewarding and satisfying activities anyone can do for themselves. It means you are spending time outside, growing food for you, your family, and your friends. Gardening pays you back in so many ways!
As gardeners we know that to garden successfully means having the right tools to do any job you need. We have put together a handy list of our must have hand tools for every gardener.
Hori-Hori Gardening Knife
The Japanese Hori-Hori gardening knife is amazing for digging, cutting, sawing, sod cutting, pruning, harvesting, and dividing plants. Pick one which comes with a holster for your belt because once you start using the Hori-Hori, you will not want it to leave your side!
Weed Knife
The weed knife’s unique shape allows for the ease of removing weeds from any area.
Weeder
The weeder with the built in lever and pick will allow you to reach tight spaces and remove weeds with minimal damage to surrounding plants.
Trowel
For digging, mixing, and planting. A dependable towel or two is so needed for every garden.

Use for kneeling to weed, assist in standing, and gives you a place to sit and rest. Lightweight and folds up easily for storage, a kneeling stool should be a part of your gardening kit.
