Today I am going to share some of my Favorite Gardening Tools if you’re looking for some gifts for a Dad who loves working in the yard. I spent a lot of my childhood working in the yard with my Dad. I pulled weeds, I helped with irrigation and planting. I was the first one to be ready to go to the hardware store!
(I still LOVE the hardware store)
When I took over my childhood home, I also took over the responsibility of taking care of our property. Over the 12 years of living here, I have learned (on the job!) what it takes to take care of our yard and these are my Favorite Gardening Tools.
Hedge Trimmer – very important to have if you have a lot of bushes that need trimming.
Battery power supply – this thing is super versatile! We take it on the go if we need to charge anything while we are outdoors. You can plug a USB cable into and there’s a socket in it too.
Batteries– here in CA, we are not allowed to use gas-powered tools 🙁 We have to have a bunch of batteries on hand. We are a Milwaukee family so we always have a few charging.
Weed Whacker– I secretly enjoy weed whacking even though it takes me forever since I have to charge batteries. This thing is great!
Weed Whacker String – always have to have extra trimmer string!
Leaf Blower – I enjoy leaf blowing just as much as weed whacking…if not more. It gives me the feeling of a freshly vacuumed room but outdoors. Over the years, I’ve gotten quite good at leaf blowing.
Chainsaw attachment – we have a TON of trees in our yard and this chainsaw pole attachment is a godsend. I did go a little crazy trimming trees a few years ago but HEY, they look great and I didn’t have to pay anyone to trim.
Collapsable garden bag– I love having this collapsable garden bag in the garden. I filled it up and then dump all of my clippings in the compost bin.
Metal hose– I’ve raved about this hose several times. It never kinks and I like that in a hose.
Compost bin– we compost! This bin is in our backyard and I dump all of my kitchen scraps in it.
Weeder – once you start using one of these, you get HOOKED.
Garden tool set– If you are gonna garden, you need a garden tool set!
Pruners– these babies are SHARP!
Micro pruners– I use these with my indoor plants and succulents!
Tree trimmer/lopper– Also great with branches and bushes!
Those are my current Favorite Gardening Tools.
