Have you made a list of garden supplies? If you have, then it’s a good start. But is everything you need to start the garden season on that list? Here are some kid-friendly garden supplies that should be on every kid gardener’s list.

Pruners
Garden pruners are like scissors. They are needed to cut branches back and even harvest fruit and produce. There are different sizes from the smallest to the largest branch pruners, often called shears.

A sturdy set of garden pruners is best. You also might want to consider the grip. Have the kids check out the grip before buying to make sure it fits their hands.

Garden rake
A garden rake is a great clean-up tool. It can also be great for sifting out rocks in a freshly tilled garden bed.

Not all garden rakes are created alike. You have to find one you like and one that you can grip and use. There are several different types of rakes. There is a stiff rake, the kind used mostly in the garden. This usually has a horizontal set of teeth that aren’t retractable and flexible. This makes them strong and gives them the ability to be used to scrape the surface of the garden bed to remove rocks and other debris. A lawn and leaf rake is usually a flexible rake that can be retractable. It is used mainly for cleaning up leaves in the fall.

Trowel
Sometimes called a shovel, this little dandy of an item makes a child’s gardening experience a little easier. It has many uses from transplanting to weeding to harvest time.
