Bulbs aren’t my specialty, but they’re a must-have for spring! Each year, I order Tulips, Daffodils, Crocuses, and more directly from Dutch Grown. Founded in 1882, they’re one of the most esteemed flower bulb exporters in the Netherlands!

I’m a fan of supporting family-owned businesses like Territorial Seed Company. They excel at providing everything a gardener needs, including comprehensive growing guides. Their seed varieties are meticulously trialed ensuring top quality.
My Essential Tools for a Thriving Garden
The indispensable tools I rely on to nurture and maintain my garden sanctuary:
The Zelarman Japanese-Style Weeding Hand Hoe is my #1 favorite garden tool! Also known as a Hori Hori knife, it is a multi-purpose marvel. Crafted from high-quality steel, this tool is both durable and versatile, making it a gardener’s secret weapon against stubborn weeds and compacted soil.
The Garden Shovel – A Heavy Duty Gardening Hand Trowel, with a Carbon Steel Trowel and a Rubberized Handle. A garden trowel is a versatile tool, a gardener’s trusty sidekick. This one is perfect for digging, planting, and mixing soil. My favorite trowel by far!
My Gonicc 8″ Professional Premium Titanium Bypass Pruning Shears are essential for maintaining plant health and appearance. Sharp blades ensure clean cuts, preventing damage to plant tissue that can lead to disease. I keep them in my pocket when I am in the garden.
My Digz garden gloves are a true garden necessity. A perfect pair of gardening gloves is akin to a knight’s armor. Comfortable, super durable and my hands are well protected. They even have touchscreen compatible fingertips!
True Temper 6 Cu. Ft Steel Tray Wheelbarrow is a reliable wheelbarrow and a gardener’s best friend when it comes to transporting heavy loads. Whether moving soil, compost, or plants, a sturdy wheelbarrow eases the burden, making tasks less labor-intensive.
The Gilmour Pro Commercial Hose 3/4 Inch x 100 Feet is the best hose out there! I know a lot about hoses as my livelihood depended on them when we were growing plants for sale. You want a garden hose that is durable, flexible, and long enough to reach all areas of your garden. This is it!
I love my Sloggers Garden Clogs! I wear them all day. They are water-proof, grip the ground securely but I can just slip them off when I come in the house. Lots of great designs, too. I’m always getting compliments!
My Dramm Water Wand has a nozzle that gives a gentle, full flow for quick watering and you will have total water flow control with just one touch of your thumb.
Bonide Captain Jack’s Slug Magic Granules,Snail & Slug Killer, Organic, Pet Safe Formula When you’ve had your fill of collecting sticky, slimey slugs and just want to get the job done fast. It’s truly like magic!
