A hand fork is necessary for cultivating in closely planted beds. A long-handled hoe is a gardener's best friend. Keeping weeds at bay is the purpose of this useful tool. The sharper the better, a shovel is a requisite tool for planting large perennials, shrubs and trees. The most basic act in the garden is breaking ground, so it stands to reason that a sharp shovel will be a key player.
Haws are the best in the business.
This English watering can creates a fine, even stream of water that delivers with a gentleness that won't wash seedlings or sprouting seeds out of their soil. Invest in a pair of quality pruners such as Felco. This sturdy pruner is used for clipping rose canes, cutting back perennials and other trimming jobs that need to be done. Unless you want to wear your favorite hobby under your nails, use gloves. Leather gloves hold up best.
