A gardening tool with a retaining assembly comprising: a first rod; the first rod having a track; the first rod further having an elastic unit formed aside the track; a second rod pivotally installed to the first rod; one end of the second rod being formed with a recess; and a retaining portion movably assembled in the track, the retaining portion including a bolt passing through the track and a push unit selectively joined to the bolt, the bolt having a polygonal resisting head partially corresponding to the recess in the second rod, the push unit having a trench formed on a backside thereof for partially corresponding to the resisting head of the bolt; wherein when the elastic unit resists against the push unit of the retaining portion and the push unit resists against the bolt, the resisting head of the bolt is partially embedded into the trench in the push unit such that the bolt moves along the track and the resisting head of the bolt correspondingly combines with the recess in the second rod for fixing the second rod with the first rod.
