Gardening is a labour of love, but as with any other undertaking, the right tools can make all the difference. From couture garden hoses and swooping Japanese ladders to vintage-inspired tools and trellises, treat yourself – or your favourite green-thumb – to these gardening must-haves, guaranteed to spark joy and get the job done.
Glove And Soap Set – Keep your hands safe, soft and clean with these adorable floral-printed gloves in waterproof nitrile and polyester, and a matching bar of soap. A perfect gift for beginners or long-time gardeners, the soap is delicately scented, gently exfoliates with apricot seeds, and nourishes with olive oil and shea butter.
Bird Feeder With Planter Base – Bring on the birds – and all the charm of an antique bronze bird bath, minus the back pain. Made from a resined PP material, it’s lightweight enough to move between beds until you find the perfect spot. Stabilise it with the four stakes (included), and await your feathered friends. For added effect, the base doubles as a flower planter, so you can add a pop of colour to their fanciful flutter.
Cast Iron Twine Holder With Shears – You’ll always have a bird in the garden, in this case with a vintage twist. Keep twine tidy and at the ready with this charming cast iron dispenser that doubles as decor. Fasten feeble stems and secure your climbing vines in natural jute twine. With a hook for the dedicated steel shears, this sturdy little set is as cute as it is convenient.
Essential Garden Seat With Tools – Every avid gardener has a horror story about waking up the day after a power weeding season to sore legs. This lightweight, portable seat has an aluminium frame and multitudes of pockets made from sturdy dirt- and weather-resistant polyester. It even comes with the tools you’re most likely to reach for: a trowel, a weed puller and a small rake. Pack the pockets with anything else you need, and make your gardening session more ‘meditation’ and less ‘marathon’.
Glass Plant Mister With Rose Gold – Add a touch of delicate, old-timey charm with this pretty plant mister. The clear glass makes it easy to see when it’s time for a refill, and the pump evokes craftsmanship from bygone days. You work hard to keep your plants alive and beautiful; your tools should match.
Waterfall Fairy Lights – Nothing is so satisfying as sitting in the garden amongst the buds and blooms you’ve so carefully curated. When the sun goes down, this clever lighting trick makes it easy to revel in your handiwork under the moon as well. Simply thread the twinkling lights through the holes or spout of a watering can, and hang on a wall or a fence to watch your garden glow.
Elephant Watering Can – Elephants are beloved symbols of good luck and new beginnings, which makes them a perfect gardening companion. Crafted from Dolomite ceramic, Trouva’s elephant watering can has a long, tapered spout so you can fine-tune the water stream exactly where you need it. In a similar vein, this lightweight kiddie-proof version, The Garden of Eden Elephant Watering Can, comes in whimsical fuchsia or turquoise. Complete the look with a matching elephant sculpture that doubles as a spouting sprinkler. Simply hook up your hose for a delightful and thirst-quenching spray.
Rusty Rose Glamourous Garden Hose – Utilitarian meets garden chic. This set from Garden Glory is made from lead-, cadmium- and phthalate-free PVC, so you can guzzle in the garden on hot days. The hose is coated in a non-kinking, sun- and dirt-resistant woven exterior to ensure a long and colourful life. The matching pink wall mount and leopard-patterned attachments complete the look.
Eco Barrow – While you’re hauling soil and decorative rocks, you’ll also be doing your part for the planet. The Harrod Horticultural Eco Barrow is the first-ever 100% recyclable wheelbarrow. It’s made from nylon and recycled high-density polyethylene, which is light on your environmental impact (and your shoulders), but sturdy enough to hold up 200kg. It’s also rust- and corrosion-resistant, and cleans up easily.
Rustic And Resilient Trellis – Add dimension and vintage charm to your flower beds with a vertical trellis, designed to withstand the outdoors, but with all the charm of a rusted antique. Ideal for colourful climbers like clematis, bougainvillea or lush vines, the seven-foot-tall obelisk is made from powder-coated steel and looks opulent on its own, even before the buds burst.
Push-Up Pollinator Seed Set – Inspired by a beloved childhood ice cream pop, each set of these seed blends contains a proprietary mix known to attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. The containers are made from recyclable paper and coconut husk for little to no environmental impact. Simply push up to release the seeds, scatter over fresh soil, gently press, water and wait for your winged little assistants to find their way to you.
Japanese Design Garden Ladder – Leave it to Japanese gardeners to take horticulture to the next level with intricate pruning and manicured trees and hedges; it’s no surprise they’ve also engineered the world’s greatest gardening ladder. The tripod design is lightweight yet stable, and also stunning to behold, with legs that curve at the base. All three legs are completely adjustable, so you can get into even the tightest spaces of your topiary creation. A bit of a splurge, but you and your green space are certainly worth it!
Mini Greenhouse And Storage – Kickstart your seedlings long before the last frost with an attractive and functional mini greenhouse that doubles as storage for your gardening essentials. The chamber is outfitted with a hinge on the lid that allows you to crack it open and give your baby plants some fresh air. The two adjustable shelves are simple to arrange, in order to accommodate taller plants or tools. The wood and lightweight polycarbonate materials make it easy to move as you chase the season’s first, best sunlight.
