Fiskars — famous for their well-known orange-handled scissors — have been making high-quality cutting implements since 1649, so you know they're great tools for your garden. If you prefer the traditional orange pair of shears, grab the Fiskars bypass pruning shears with a ⅝-inch cut capacity for 33% off.
Snap up this mini greenhouse on sale
If you're thinking about trying greenhouse gardening, keep in mind that there are greenhouse advantages and disadvantages, of course. One way to test the waters without a huge commitment is a mini-greenhouse. A mini greenhouse enables you to grow more kinds of plants in limited space outside, and it can extend your growing season. Grab one on sale right now, like the Ohuhu Plastic Mini Greenhouse for outdoor or indoor use, starting at 15% off. You can snag your four-shelf mini greenhouse for about $40.
Get a new garden bag and set of tools
Every gardener needs good tools and a heavy-duty bag to carry them around the yard. If your garden tools are wearing out, consider a brand new Grenebo nine-piece gardening set, complete with an adorable flower-patterned bag. The tools come with ergonomic handles and rust-proof stainless steel tips. The bag includes two spades, a hoe, a soil tiller, a pair of shears, a weeder, a spray bottle, and gloves. It's 30% off, so at just $29.44, it's a steal.
Buy a soil tester to measure pH and moisture
Understanding your soil's pH — whether your soil is acidic or alkaline — is an important aspect of gardening, since some plants thrive or wither in certain soils. If you've been guessing at your yard's soil pH, then you might need a soil tester. At 5% off with a Prime coupon, this Sonkir pH soil tester will cost less than $10. This three-in-one tester measures soil pH, moisture, and sunlight, all in one device. This handy tool will prevent you from gardening blind and help you grow healthier plants.
Protect your hands and arms from scratchy thorns with extra-long gloves
Ever get scratches on your forearms or elbows trying to prune a thorny rose bush? Maybe you need longer garden gloves like the Handylandy rose pruning gloves. With more than 2,000 five-star reviews, gardeners love these for hand and wrist protection. At 34% off, you'll pay around $15 for a pair. They come in many colors, including green, pink, and yellow, too. Don't forget to store them away safely, and remember that there are benefits of keeping gardening gloves in a Mason jar when not in use.
Add a shower wand to your hose
Spray hose attachments can be invaluable, as they will help you water plants in a way that's less damaging. The shower setting, for instance, can simulate rain fall, which may be more beneficial to plants. The mist setting can help plants that like the air humid, like palms or orchids. For these settings and more, grab the Restmo watering wand with 10 different spray settings and a 15-inch wand for better reach and angles. It's a whopping 41% off, and you can snag it now for $23.79.
Try a foldable two-in-one garden bench and kneeler
If you get tired legs and sore knees when working in the garden, grab a Songmics garden seat and kneeler, a two-in-one foldable bench and knee protector. Upright in the bench position, you can have a seat while trimming a hedge. Flip it over for the kneeler position, and it'll help save aching knees and also keep clothes dirt-free when planting seeds or sprouts. It offers storage pouches for your garden tools to keep them handy. It's lightweight, too. Regularly priced at $45.99, you can grab this Prime deal for $29.98.
Get a tough, lightweight fabric garden hose for 29% off
Fabric garden hoses can be a lifeline for anyone tired of wielding a heavy hose. When there's not water running through them, they can even shrink to half their size or less, which is great for those of us with a small yard. Right now, the Orbit heavy-duty fabric garden hose is on sale for 29% off, and you can buy this quality hose for $50. If you prefer a traditional hose, you can also find one of those on sale, too, like this lightweight Flexzilla garden hose at 36% off.
Save your back with a weed puller tool
Tired of bending over to get those weeds? Use the weed puller tool from Watfigby. With a 39-inch ergonomic handle and spiky metal grips at the bottom, just set above the weed you'd like to pull. Press your foot on the lever, and the tool's sharp prongs grab the weed straight out of the ground. An easy release can dump the weed in a lawn bag. This weed puller might become one of your favorite landscaping and groundskeeping tools. Grab it while it's 40% off. Regularly $59.99, it's on sale for $35.99.
Store your hose in a decorative copper pot
No one wants an ugly, tangled garden hose lying on the pathway or deck, which can be an accident waiting to happen. Leaving your garden hose exposed to the elements might make it wear out faster, too. Keep it protected with a beautiful decorative holder like the Liberty hose pot, a pretty copper pot with a built-in hole so the hose can stay attached to the faucet. This designer hose storage pot normally retails for more than $100, but at 35% off, it's on sale for around $70.
