Behind every patch, pot or plot are great garden instruments. The more you’re prepared to get hands-on with plant care tools, the more life you can expect. Here at Aussie Gardener, we’ve got the essentials and support to help you along with your horticulture experience!
Every thriving garden starts with the right instruments.
From a simple weeding tool to all sorts of rakes, spades and hoes, the right garden instruments make a difference because healthy plants generally come down to proper care. That means digging correctly, pruning cleanly and managing the soil without damaging delicate roots.
When you use sturdy gardening tools made for Aussie conditions, the jobs go quicker and the work feels better. And because we are Australia’s largest and most trusted online gardening store, you can choose from loads of products, tried and tested for local conditions.
Choose practical instruments that work as hard as you do.
When it comes to getting garden tools online in Australia, start with the basics: a solid fork, a reliable hand trowel and a pair of sturdy garden secateurs. These three will cover the majority of your excavation, planting and cutting jobs with no fuss.
It also helps when the tools are well designed, light to hold, comfortable in the hand and nicely balanced, all so you do not get tired as quickly. Now, if you work in a small space or mainly grow veggies, choosing multi-purpose garden instruments is a good call. They’re made so that you can switch between tasks, which means they’re a smart way to save time and storage space.
Aussie Gardener is your one-stop shop for gardening needs.
We were founded by Brian and Kaylene Chapman back in 2016. Since then, our team has reached over 150,000 people around Australia and sent more than 250,000 orders, from digging tools all the way to veggie garden seeds, plant food and so much more.
With us as a go-to place for gardening, gear is simpler to get and easier to use.
Plus, we only list products that actually do the job, and everything is tested by our team and a select group of customers first.
What’s more, we also have a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, so you can try garden instruments at home, and, on the off chance they don’t work as described, you can send them back for a refund. Just remember that whether you’re considering high-quality lawn tools or something like a lightweight weeder for garden maintenance, the only part this guarantee doesn’t cover is the return postage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the most essential garden instruments for beginners?
If you are just getting started, you only need a small, reliable kit. A hand trowel is first on the list because it helps with planting seedlings, transplanting herbs and doing quick pot changes. Next, a garden fork (or hand fork for pots and beds) is great for loosening soil, mixing in compost and getting roots established.
For pruning tools, a sharp pair of secateurs is important too, as it lets you trim dead stems, shape shrubs and harvest veg without tearing up the plant. Add a pair of decent gardening gloves to protect your hands, plus a rake or hose for basic clean-up and watering, and you are ready for most gardening tasks.
Do garden instruments come in sets?
Yes, lots of garden instruments are sold in sets, which is handy if you are starting from scratch or want to keep everything together. Like the Aussie Gardener Hand Tools, they usually include trowels, hand forks, hand hoes, claw cultivators and soil scoops.
How should I care for and store my garden instruments?
Garden instruments tend to last longer when you give them a quick clean. After using them, knock off the soil, rinse if needed and dry them before putting them away. A light wipe of oil or a protective coating on metal parts also helps stop rust and keeps moving components working smoothly.
For storage, keep long-handled tools upright or hanging in a dry, well-ventilated shed or garage, preferably off the ground to avoid dampness and handle damage. Remember, a little care after each session means your tools will see more seasons and be ready to go the next time you are in the garden.
