is a simple convenience worth having, and prevents the 

 not uncommon accident of a blow in the face from the 

 handle of a tool, on the end of which the gardener has 

 incautiously stepped. Small tools, like trowels, and 

 pruning knives and shears, should be kept in a drawer. 

 The list of tools and appliances need not be a long one.

 small garden plot: 



Dibber Rake 



Spading fork Pruning shears (secateur) 



Hammer Spade 



Hoe Broom (birch) 



Trowel Mower

Watering can Garden Basket 



Grass shears Spray Pump 



A fuller equipment would include in addition: 



Roller Pruning saw 



Reel, stake, and line Weeding fork 



Sieve Scuffle hoe 



Edging knife 



In many large gardens some of these items would have 

 to be multiplied, and others might be added, including 

 such special tools as:

Water barrow Shovel 



Garden engine Turfing iron
