Garden Tools for Spring 2023

Gardening is more fun if you've got a good set of tools, just as in every craft.  It's hard to find a well made variety of tools at big box stores and hardware stores. They're just not attuned to the gardener, I think.

Try these sources to make things easier for yourself:

 

Lee Valley Tools        https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/garden

 


 


Red Pig Garden Tools   https://www.redpigtools.com/


 

 Smith & Hawken

I was going to list Smith & Hawken, once I got the name Smith and Wesson out of my head.  I'd never visited one of their stores, but knew I should.  I waited too long, as they apparently closed all of their stores in 2009.  There's a really good article from Garden Rant on the closing:

Smith & Hawken is Dead.
Long Live Smith & Hawken.

 

Burpee   https://www.burpee.com/gardening-supplies/tools-totes-gloves/

Burpee has a nice variety of garden tools.  Most are reasonably priced, but of course I want the Black Walnut Hand forged ones.
