    Learn More About Gardening Tools

    Whether you’re a beginner gardener or a green-thumbed expert, there are a few basic gardening tools you should have on hand to help create and maintain your dream garden:


    • Hand trowel: A hand trowel is a small gardening hand tool with a sturdy blade, used for digging holes in soil to plant seeds or bed plants, remove dead plants and debris from gardens, and dig out pesky weeds.
    • Cultivator hand fork: A cultivator hand fork is another handy, small gardening tool used for cultivating soil in garden beds and planters, and scratching up surface weeds.
    • Garden rake: Not only are garden rakes useful for raking up dead leaves in the fall, their tines are ideal for smoothing out soil and compost to prepare your garden for planting.
    • Hand pruning shears: Use hand pruning shears to trim branches from trees and shrubs to keep them looking neat and tidy. Hand pruners are especially ideal for harvesting ripe fruits and vegetables and cutting flowers.
    • Watering can: Don’t forget to water your plants! A watering can is a portable solution to keep your plants hydrated and healthy. Choose watering cans with handles that are easy to carry when full.


    Browse Etsy to find garden tools and gardening tool sets to help your garden grow with ease.

    Just like home improvement tools, it’s important to keep your garden tools organized for when you need them. A gardening tool bag is a great way to carry your small-size tools around the garden and prevent them from getting misplaced.


    Want to keep your larger garden tools like rakes, shovels, and hoes organized? Hang a garden tool rack in your shed or garage to keep them in place. Find all kinds of garden storage and organization solutions on Etsy such as garden caddies, bins, baskets, and shelves.

    In addition to gardening tools, the right gardening accessories will go a long way in making garden work—even weeding—fun and enjoyable. Keep your hands comfortable and dirt-free with a pair of gardening gloves. You’ll find them in a wide range of colors, patterns, and styles from sellers on Etsy. Take the pressure off your knees with a set of knee pads or use a small stool for a comfortable seat.


    Need a place to store and carry your seeds? Use a gardening apron or seed box—many sellers on Etsy offer custom and personalized options. Also, keep track of where you planted your fruits and veggies with plant markers. You’ll find them in a variety of materials and styles to add visual interest to your garden plot.
