If you don’t already have garden tools, it might be time to start investing or borrowing them off a neighbour. Some of the equipment you will need to maintain a healthy garden are; trowels, rakes, shovels, trimming tools watering systems and a lawn mower. These are great investments as you will need them for the coming years.
