| Hand Trowel & Cultivator |
Hand Trowel - Great for planting annuals, perennials, and digging out tough weeds. I always look for one with a sturdy handle-to-scoop connection. I am a little rough on them and they tend to bend or break at that point. I also like trowels with a ruled side on the scoop. This comes in handy when planting fall bulbs at specific depths.

Bypass Pruner - This type of pruner works like a pair of scissors where the blades pass each other to make a nice clean cut. A bypass pruner can cut branches and stems up to ¾” in diameter. They can vary in price a lot, but the most important aspect of a good hand pruner is keeping the blade sharp. A dull blade may shred a stem and it will have a harder time healing.
You could certainly fill a whole potting shed with the amount of Garden Related Gadgets available. But if you have just these three, it will make your gardening experience much easier.
