Tools for the Garden III 
Things to Do and Observe 
1. To become familiar with garden tools. Examine the garden 
tools displayed in store windows and those owned by your friends. 
Look for advertisements of them in seed catalogues and in garden 
and agricultural magazines. Be sure to buy tools suited to your 
size and age, and to the work you wish to do with them. 
2. To learn to use garden tools. Make a special effort to learn 
the easiest and most effective ways of using the various tools. 
Practice the right methods as explained and illustrated in this 
chapter. Observe teachers, older- students, and experienced 
gardeners who are using tools. 
3. To learn how to care for tools. Observe the effect of poor 
care of tools. Find how gardeners store their tools when not in 
use. Practice taking good care of your own tools.
