As we age or have injuries that inhibit our ability to garden some tools will help us to be able to continue to enjoy gardening.
I have found a tool that is critical for all gardeners to own, this tool is not only for seniors but for all avid gardeners to make the job easier and more comfortable.
This past year my hip deteriorated and now I need hip replacement surgery but I still need to get in the garden to harvest, plant, and weed the garden.
Greatest Garden Tool for Seniors that was recommended to me.
A coworker with the Oregon State Master Gardener team who recently underwent the same surgery mentioned a tool essential for her to get out in the garden and said I should get one immediately.
That tool is a garden stool.Β The great thing about this tool is that it has dual purposes as a bench and a kneeling stool.Β The other added benefit of this stool is that it holds tools and your phone to provide quick access to all your gardening needs.
I have difficulty getting up after sitting or kneeling, and with this stool, I can use the arms to help push myself up while maintaining my balance. Before I had this stool, I struggled to even get up from my gardening chores.
This stool is made very well with strong joints to last as well as a good bench and kneeling pad that will allow you to garden for longer periods of time.Β The side pouches are made with durable vinyl that not only is strong but will allow to be easily cleaned, and the pockets on both sides will provide you with plenty of space for tools and other things you want to keep at your fingertips like a phone or water bottle.
As we age, we need to use tools in the garden that will allow us to continue our gardening tasks without jeopardizing our health.
I purchased my gardening stool/kneeling still at Down To Earth for less than $40.00 and highly recommend this to everyone who is gardening.Β It would also be a great gift to provide someone that loves to garden as much as I do.
