Gloves & Hand Tools
No matter the size of your garden, having the right gloves and hand tools makes every task easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. From planting seedlings in spring to weeding in summer or tidying up beds in autumn, these essential tools help you garden efficiently while protecting your hands. At LittleTree Garden Market in Fergus, Ontario, we carry a wide selection of gardening gloves and hand tools to support beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.
Why Every Gardener Needs Gloves & Hand Tools
Gardening is rewarding, but it can also be tough on your hands. A good pair of gloves keeps your skin safe from thorns, blisters, and dirt, while lightweight hand tools save time and effort. Instead of struggling with improvised tools, investing in the right equipment means you can work faster and with more precision.
In our Ontario climate, where soil can be sandy or clay-heavy depending on the area, sturdy hand tools are a must for digging, loosening, and planting.
Essential Gardening Gloves
The right pair of gloves is more than just protection — it’s comfort. Choose gloves that:
- Fit well so you can handle delicate seedlings or small seeds without trouble.
- Offer durability for tougher tasks like moving rocks or pruning shrubs.
- Provide grip to handle tools and wet soil safely.
- Match the season — lightweight breathable gloves for summer, or thicker insulated ones for early spring and late autumn work.
At LittleTree, you’ll find gloves in different styles and materials, so you can choose the perfect pair for your gardening needs.
Must-Have Hand Tools for Gardeners
Small hand tools are the backbone of any gardener’s toolkit. Here are some essentials:
- Hand Trowel – Perfect for planting bulbs, seedlings, and small plants.
- Cultivator or Hand Rake – Ideal for loosening soil, aerating, and mixing in compost.
- Pruners (Secateurs) – A must-have for trimming flowers, shrubs, and small branches.
- Weeder – Designed to get rid of stubborn weeds at the root.
- Transplanter – Narrower than a trowel, making it easier to move seedlings without disturbing their roots.
These tools are lightweight, easy to use, and essential for daily garden maintenance.
