    Two green thumbs up to a little personal ~growth~ this summer.

    1. A hori hori garden knife with a sharpening stone so there will never be a ~dull moment~ in your garden. Use this multipurpose tool to weed, cut roots, dig holes, and more.

    5. A set of steel gardening tools to have in your arsenal for whatever problem crops up next. This is the perfect starter kit for those who are foraying into the world of gardening, but is also a great for the experienced gardener looking to replace their old rusty set.

    9. A composting tumbler so you can reduce, reuse and recycle organic waste and cardboard to keep your garden healthy and fed. This foolproof beginner-friendly composter has two compartments — one side can be in the weeks-long process while you can add new scraps to the other.

    12. A kneeler and stool to offer support at every level of your garden. Use the bench for sitting, or if you need to get your hands dirty, lower the pad for more comfortable ground-level kneeling.
