Gardening Tools Used by the Pros
Hori Hori Knife
This workhorse is the most used tool in my bag. This garden knife digs and cuts thanks to its serrated edge. Perfect for weeding.
Pruning Shears
Many native perennials benefit from being cut back once or twice a year. A good pair of pruning shears makes it easy.
Root Slayer Shovel
Recommended to me by a Master Naturalist friend, this is the BEST tool when you need to dig a hole in compact soil or remove a large plant.
Watering Wand
These Dramm watering wands are the ones you’ll see your local nursery use. They give an even spray of water to your plants.
Rooting Hormone
Keep this on hand to make new plants from cuttings. Propagate your natives to share with friends and neighbors!
Garden Pick
When I volunteer to remove invasive plants from natural areas, this is the tool we use. Great for breaking up hard soil.
My Favorite Wildlife Habitat Products
Hummingbird Feeder
This plastic feeder with snap on lid is the EASIEST to clean. I have it hanging from my balcony. Hummingbirds visit it daily here in TX!
UV Window Decals
Window collisions kill 1+billion birds in the US each year. Prevent bird strikes by putting these pretty UV coated decals on your windows.
Bird Feeder
This is the squirrel-proof feeder I have in my yard. Each day wrens, titmice, chickadees and more songbirds take part in the buffet!
