Garden tools are equipment used to work in the garden while accessories are used to decorate and manage the garden.
Consider loaning or donating tools to your community.
Excited to start a DIY project but need to borrow a saw? Do you need a pair of loppers to trim your fruit trees? Several cities have tool lending libraries where residents can rent a variety of tools for 1-3 weeks at a time while participating in a circular and sharing economy. Alameda County Tool Libraries
