GARDEN TROWEL

Hand-forged by a century-old Dutch family business, this multipurpose garden tool will last a lifetime. And let’s be honest...it’s adorable. Heart-Shaped Garden Trowel, $49, uncommongoods.com

HARVEST BASKET

Handmade in Maine, this traditional basket is made of wire mesh so you can hose off your harvest before taking it inside. We love that for every purchase you make with Uncommon Goods, they donate $1 to a partner of your choice. Gardener’s Harvest Basket, $50,

RUBBER BOOT

This unisex, waterproof rubber boot is comfortable enough for gardening, yet sturdy enough for hauling hoses or wheelbarrows through the yard. Stormers Shoe in Cat Yellow, $105,

HANDKERCHIEF

Perfect for wiping your brow or wicking sweat from your neck, we love this wool handkerchief. Made from Merino wool, the feel is incredibly soft, while being breathable, odor-resistant, moisture wicking, quick drying, and UPF 45+. Merino Wool Handkerchief in Cayenne, $35,

GARDEN VISOR

Look stylish while enjoying a healthy dose of sun protection with this garden visor that’s lightweight, breathable, and packable—just roll it up and toss it in your bag. Garden Visor, $28,

KNEELING PAD

Trust us, a little cushioning makes all the difference! This lightweight, high-density kneeling pad comes in eight different colors. Gorilla Grip Original Premium Thick Kneeling Pad, 17.5” x 11” x 1.5”, $9,

GARDENING GLOVES

These cloth and synthetic leather gloves have a stretchy pull cord at the top of the cuff that tightens to prevent garden soil from getting inside. Garden of Paradise Arm Saver Gloves, $34,

We’re a big fan of the high cuff style gloves that protect hands and arms from thorny rose canes and other prickers and brambles. Manswork Leather Gauntlet Gloves, $48,
