Starting a garden is exciting until you realize how many little things can make the process unnecessarily difficult. After learning through trial and error, I put together a list of the gardening products that genuinely made things easier for me—from...
for deadheading, trimming herbs, small branches.
Best Gardening Shears & Scissors
surprisingly useful for anyone spending hours on the ground.
Garden Kneeler Pad – Thick Waxed Canvas - The Celtic Farm
helps beginners stop guessing when to water.
Soil Moisture Meter
useful for transplanting at the right depth.
Edward Tools Garden Trowel - Heavy Duty Steel
gentler and more controllable than blasting plants with a hose.
Watering Wand
for tomatoes, peppers, climbing plants, etc.
Plant Support Clips
one of the least glamorous but most-used gardening purchases.
Weeding Tool
useful for people growing from seed rather than buying established plants.
Seed Starting Trays
optional, but gives the list a nice practical finishing product.
