You don’t need to buy a lot of tools to maintain your garden 🍃

These would be my Top 3 recommendations for Beginners - and the 3 tools we use the most ✅

1. Secateurs for more precise pruning (cutting individual stems and branches)
2. Hedging shears ✂️ for shaping and trimming (creating straight lines or rounded forms)
3. W**d pullers that make w**d pulling faster and easier by leveraging from the root (especially helpful for spikey and stubborn w**ds) 🌱
