Once you have decided what you want growing in your garden and how you want your garden to look you can decide on the gardening equipment you need before you visit your online store.

For the beginner, essential gardening tools include a trowel for putting in smaller plants and shrubbery.
A shovel or spade with a round pointed blade for digging.

A garden fork for breaking up the soil before planting.

Purchase a pair of sharp pruners for over grown plants because pruning gives your plant strength and it will grow for a longer time once all the dead leaves and flowers have been removed.

Buy a hoe to help weed your garden. Removing weeds keep the nutrients going to the right plant or shrub you have on display.

A rake will keep you abreast with taking the dead leaves off your lawn allowing your lawn to breath and keeping it as green as possible. This is particularly important during the autumn months when surrounding plants and trees shed their flowers.
