An essential for any gardener in New Zealand is a garden shovel. It’s the most practical tool for digging, while spades can help you move material, like compost to provide nutrients to your plants.
Rakes
A garden rake helps you collect debris, including cut grass and fallen leaves. Special lawn rakes prepare the surface for grass seed, helping it to grow.

Secateurs
For more precise and detailed pruning, garden secateurs are the ultimate tools. They’re strong enough to handle tough branches without harming the plant.
Trowels and hand forks

How to choose a garden hand tool that’s right for you
The tool you buy will depend on the job that needs to be done in your garden. For pruning, you’ll want to consider shears and secateurs. Shears, especially long-handled ones, are better for bigger jobs, such as tall shrubs and small trees. Secateurs are better for more detailed work on smaller plants. If you have a vegetable patch or flower beds, you’ll likely need a range of tools. A shovel will help you dig and turn over the soil. Whereas, spades are better for moving material around.
