For the one in your life who struggles to keep up with their beloved garden, why not get them a gardening aid this Christmas? Give them a gift that'll help them enjoy their garden again without having to strain themselves.
This a great gift for any gardener who's finding it a little tricky to get up off the ground after they've been tending to their plants. The soft pad protects knees from sharp stones or thorns on the ground, while the frame offers support to help them stand up again. Not only that but flipped the other way up it offers them a temporary seat, so they can rest for a moment and survey their hard work (perhaps while drinking a well-earned cup of tea).
Cultivators can be used to help loosen and mix the soil, but they can be hard on the joints to use. This great tool has been designed to make gardening that little bit easier for those with reduced hand strength. It has an upright handle that will help them to keep their hand and wrist in a more natural angle to reduce the strain placed on the joint and keep them more comfortable while gardening.
If they love to garden but are starting to find it a struggle to bend down, this long handled garden fork could be the ideal gift. The long shaft means that they will be able to tend to their garden without having to bend down as far or even perhaps from a seated position, while the angled handle will help to keep their hand and wrist in a more neutral position, making it more comfortable for them to use.
Take some of the stress out of picking up leaves for the gardener in your life with the help of this Long Handled Leaf Grabber. This lightweight gardening aid has cushioned handles to keep their hands comfortable and is designed to pick up large amounts of unwanted foliage that's dropped to the ground - without causing them further discomfort. The long handle means that they won't have to bend down either, so they can easily tend to their garden.
Weeding can be a time-consuming task, especially when it's time to clear the beds ready for new plants to go in. Why not make life a little easier for the gardener in your life and get them this handy weeding tool? It has the special Easi-Grip handle design that keeps the hand and wrist in a more natural position, putting less stress on the joint as they get on with the task at hand.
If getting in and out of the house is stopping your loved one from enjoying their garden, the Metal Half-Step may be able to help. It provides an extra step when stepping down from the doorway to the ground, reducing the distance they have to drop down. It has individually adjustable feet, so it’s always kept stable even if the surface it's standing on isn't quite level.
Hoeing the garden doesn't have to be back-breaking work. Get them a gift their spine will thank you for with the lightweight Easi-Grip Long Handled Garden Hoe. The long shaft of the tool means that they won't need to bend as much when tending to their garden - great if they find bending down difficult. It also has the classic Easi-Grip anatomically designed, angled handle for a more natural grip too.
Any proud gardener who spends time picking litter or other debris from their garden will appreciate this device. Usable at home and in the garden, it helps them pick up what they need without having to stoop, kneel, or overreach and potentially unbalance themselves. The Ready Reacher has an easy two-finger trigger action to move the jaws and also has a small magnet to make it easier to pick up things like keys and certain types of coin.
Made from high-quality stainless steel with a soft feel non-slip handle, this garden trowel would make a lovely gift for any gardener who's living with a weak grip or limited hand strength. The anatomically designed handle helps them to grip the trowel more easily and keeps their hand in a more natural position to help reduce any pressure on their joints. It's a great option whether they're tending to a much-loved, small indoor garden or a large plant bed outside.
This fully weather resistant grab rail is a great choice if the gardener in your life needs a little extra support when entering or leaving their home. It has special soft grip mouldings around the outside of the grab rail to help keep them safe and reduce the risk of their hand slipping when it’s wet.
