Give her a way to tote home all of those treasures from her vegetable garden. This traditional-style garden basket is made of pine wood and wire, so it can be hosed down when she’s done picking (those veggies are bound to be covered with dirt, after all).

She’ll have one more reason to get excited about harvesting herbs and florals this summer with these snips in tow.

A great day in the garden is easily spoiled by mosquitos, flies and ticks. Solve that problem in style with these nearly perfect gardening overalls from Duluth.

Plus, they’re treated with a finish that repels the most irritating of creepy-crawlies (no smelly spray required).

This versatile piece of gardening equipment quickly transforms from a soft, cushioned kneeler to a bench that’s set at the perfect height for weeding, trimming and pruning.
