Gift AlmanacA directory of good gifts

Easy-reach gardening

For older gardeners or anyone with sore knees, backs or hands.

Ergonomic hand tools

Easy-grip tools with arm-support handles

The handles sit at right angles to the blade, keeping the wrist straight. Designed for people with arthritis or weak grip.

Ergonomic trowel

A curved, padded grip that spreads the load across the palm instead of the wrist.

Ergonomic weeder

A weeder with a wide, comfortable handle for gardeners with sore hands.

Kneelers & garden seats

Kneeler that flips into a seat

Kneel on the padded side or flip it over to sit, with handles to help push yourself back up. One of the shop's long-time best-sellers.

Waist-high planters

Waist-high planter on legs

A planter at a comfortable working height (the Vegepod stand raises the bed to 80cm), so there's far less kneeling or bending. Good for patios and balconies too.

Long-reach tools

Back-saver long-handled tools

Long handles and stand-up designs mean weeding and cultivating without bending. The AU option pairs a stand-up weeder with a kneeler-seat.

Long-handled bulb planter

Plant bulbs standing up. Step on it, twist, and drop the bulb in.

Long-reach cut-and-hold picker

Cuts and grips fruit or flowers out of reach, so there's no need for a ladder.
