Gardening Tools

AND ACCESSORIES

Home » Lawn and Garden » Garden Tools and Accessories

Gardening is Easy with the Right Tools

It’s often said that with the proper tools, any job can be done right. The same is true with gardening. Of all the tools you need for gardening, there are two basic types: cultivating tools and planting tools. The first group of tools have several names that all have to do with digging, raking, hoeing, and shoveling. These include a digging fork and a five-tined cultivator. The other group includes a spade and a dibble or pointed planting tool. Visit the plant care shed to find the tools you need and more!

Butterfly & Bee Houses

Bee houses and butterfly habitats are another great way to cater to our local pollinators. Bee houses in particular are a great way to provide nesting spaces for solitary bees such as mason bees and leaf-cutter bees!

Bat Houses

Nighttime Garden Heroes!

Bats are amazing creatures that are vital to the health of our natural world and ecosystem. Installing a bat house near your home is a great way to provide a habitat for certain bat species such as the Big Brown Bat and the Little Brown Bat.

Plant Care Shed Picks

Bamboo Gardener Gloves

These bamboo rayon fiber gloves are: lightweight, incredibly comfortable, moisture-wicking and breathable with a fantastic wet/dry grip. The naturally soft and comfortable 13-gauge seamless knit liner is constructed of bamboo rayon fiber. Bamboo is amazingly sustainable and regenerative; it’s the fastest-growing woody plant in the world with some species growing over 3’ a day. The relaxed ergonomic shape reduces hand fatigue and increases productivity. The special treatment and dipping process improves bonding of the premium green natural rubber latex to the knit surface. Unique flat wrinkle-finish provides better flexibility and dexterity; an excellent strong wet or dry grip; abrasion resistance and improved durability.

Manage the Rain

If you need even more rain management, consider adding rain fixtures to your garden! We’re fans of adding pieces to the garden that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional.

Rain Chains

Rain chains are very unique, as they do exactly what you think: Collect rainwater from the top of your house and then let it flow down in a unique way. Rain chains are becoming popular everywhere – even in the US, with more and more people installing them in their gardens as a form of decoration and rain management.
