Gone are the days when cold and snow kept us home, forced us to wear heavy clothes and deprived us of light long before tea-time. Now that the spring has taken over and colourful flowers already cover the Belgian fields, the time has finally come to take a deep breath and… take care of your garden! And in order to help you out, goldenpages.be has created a list of gardening essentials for you to make the most of your garden under the spring sun.

1. Trowel
Without a trowel, you won’t be able to plant any small plants or bury any bulbs. Thanks to their short handles and their flat pointed metal blades, they’re ideal for planting while kneeling on the ground. Tip: If you value durability, go for those made in one piece. |

2. Garden pruners
Garden pruners are the best tool both for pruning shrubs and cutting hard stems and branches. This will allow you to prevent plants, shrubs and trees from growing wildly, and to keep them within bounds. Tip: Avoid anvil or ratchet pruners. Bypass pruners make cleaner cuts and are easier to use. |

3. Edger
With this moon-shaped hand tool, you’ll give your garden a lovely final touch by creating a clean and beautiful line between flower beds and lawns or landscape beds and little lanes. Tip: A motorised edger is up to 20 times faster and so ideal for big gardens. |
