If you are starting our gardening you might be thinking you need to purchase a lot of tools. But you do not need much. I suggested a short list of items you need, and then you can purchase things as you need. I am not including an actual place to plant your plants (like pots or a raised garden) or dirt, this is all about tools.
Gardening can seem overwhelming to start, but don’t stress about the tools, keep it simple. Here is my list of gardening tools for beginners.
Garden Tools for Beginners:
- Pruning Shears.
- Trowel.
- Gardening Gloves.
- Bamboo sticks/sticks
- Watering can/hose
- Twine
With these tools you can prune, dig, build a trellis and care for your plant.

Once you have these basics, there are a few other tools you might need, depending on your garden:
- Hand Rake
- Rubber hammer
- Shovel
These extras will help you in the garden but are not necessary when starting out.
Remember to keep gardening simple. You do not need a lot of tools to start gardening!
