Got a gardener on your Christmas list? Give them gifts they will use to make their gardening hobby more enjoyable. Whether your gardener enjoys growing tomatoes, vegetables, flowers or roses, having the right tool makes every job easier. Every gardener's tool box should include a garden knife, a good set of pruners and a pair of trimming scissors.
For versatility, it's hard to beat a garden knife, also called a Hori-Hori knife. Once you use it, you'll want this tool with you every time you work in the garden.
Garden knives are used for everything from laying a straight line to digging, weeding, planting, opening bags of soil or mulch, cutting garden twine and much more.
A good set of pruners is another essential tool for every gardener. Your gardener will use this tool to prune roses, perennials, shrubs and small tree limbs. Choose a quality bypass pruner for best results.
Trimming scissors are the best tool to have for some of the finer work in the garden, such as deadheading and light pruning. They are also useful indoors for keeping houseplants neat and trimmed. This is the tool we use at the 'Bin for all of our trimming chores.
Finish up your shopping with a good pair of gloves and add some hand lotion while you're at it. These gifts your gardener will really use and they'll think about you every time they do.
