10 gardening tools
1) Gloves
First and foremost let’s start with you. You will need a pair of nice gloves that’ll help you dig in the dirt. This will prevent any thorns from making their way to your hand and will keep away the dirt from underneath your fingernails!
2) Apron
You might already have a kitchen apron but you need one for gardening too! Having a garden apron will help keep all your tools or small plants near you for easy access!
3) Gardening Shoes
Of course, you need some comfy waterproof shoes! whether you prefer ankle boots or slip-on shoes, it’s a personal preference! Having comfortable waterproof shoes will be ideal if you spend long hours in your garden.
4) Knee Pad
With a garden, you will find yourself kneeling in the dirt quite often. To avoid knee pain (and getting extremely dirty) you need to have a knee pad! This one is great since you can use it as both a knee pad or stool!
5) Rake
When setting up your garden this type of rake will become your closest friend. It’ll help you even out the soil before actually starting the planting process.
6) Garden Hoe
A garden hoe will help you get rid of all the weeds creeping in and loosen the soil for better planting and growing.
7) Shovel
You will want to have a shovel on hand for digging bigger items up. (Things such as potatoes, or something that you want to relocate) This particular shovel has a sharper head which makes the whole job 10x easier.
8) Garden Hand Tools

Pruning shears are basically garden scissors. Anything you need to trim or prune these will be your best friend! They’re very sharp and know how to get the job done!

9) Watering Can
Now depending on the size of your garden, you will be using either a watering can or a hose to water your garden. A watering can is great for a smaller boxed garden.
