Gardening Grandmas Approve of These 7 Easy-to-Use Tools—and They’re All on Sale for Prime Day

Grandmas know best when it comes to a lot of things—including gardening. They have the wisdom and experience on why you should sprinkle chili powder in the soil (weird, but so true) and when to deadhead hydrangeas. Their green thumbs have seen and been through all kinds of gardening successes and failures, so when they recommend or approve of a tool or hack, we know to listen. 

When it comes to searching for deals on gardening tools during Amazon Prime Day, shopping grandma-approved favorites is a sure-fire way to make sure you’re buying the best of the best. Shop these tried-and-true must-haves from brands like Grampa’s Weeder, Fiskars, Best Choice Products, and more—starting at just $12.

Grampa’s Weeder The Original Stand-Up Weed-Puller Tool

With nearly 15,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, this best-selling weeder has clearly amassed fans of all ages, but it has developed a particularly passionate fanbase in senior gardeners. Because its stand-up design harnesses your full body weight with just the push of your heel, it’s easy on the back, neck, and wrists (which gardeners of a certain age definitely appreciate). 

“I pulled [a weed] the other day that was half the size of my grandkid,” one reviewer commented. “No wonder the weeds kept coming back! Those roots are down there building bunkers and fortresses like it’s the Weedpocalypse. But now? No more kneeling on these seasoned knees. No more bending over until I see stars and need a chiropractor.”

Best Choice Products Raised Garden Bed

This 48x24x32-inch wood planter is a sister model to our “Best Budget” choice in our tested raised garden beds roundup. It has several thousand five-star reviews from satisfied gardeners, many of whom love that it comes with lockable wheels that keep the planter either stationary or mobile. One commenter over 70 years old said the height was very easy on their back and called the garden bed a “great option for relocating my plants for changes in weather,” including hail, drought, freezes, and more. They added, “In case of extended freezing, I can even move them into my house and put grow lights on them.”

Grenebo 9-Piece Steel Gardening Tool Set

Senior gardeners are obsessed with this nine-piece gardening tool set, and so is this shopping writer—it’s the set I use in my own gardens! Sold more than 4,000 times already, it comes with five stainless steel tools, including pruning shears, a weeder, a transplanter, and a cultivator, gardening gloves, a spray bottle, and a pretty, portable storage bag.

“Grandma loved it,” one reviewer, who gave it as a gift, wrote. They said the tools had “great durability and no rust even though she leaves them outside” and that the tools are “not too heavy for grandma” who has arthritis.

Songmics Garden Kneeler and Seat

Like some of the best garden stools we’ve ever tested, this one is both a kneeler and seat. It comes in handy when you need a break after a long weeding session, and it’s also an Amazon best-seller. It has a stellar Amazon rating of 4.7 stars, and one reviewer said this stool was “very convenient for seniors.” 

The reviewer’s husband struggled with cramps and the constant up and down from gardening and yard work. “This allowed him (and me) to easily get up after doing the ground work. It is comfortable on his knees,” they said. And because the kneeler features two side pockets, the stool was also “very convenient to get up and move to the next sprinkler without having to carry his tools in his hands.”

Muck Boot Rubber Garden Boots

Now the lowest price they’ve been in a long time, these rubber garden boots are available on sale in several styles (although prices vary). Perfect for wearing in even some of the muddiest conditions, these gardening shoes feature a high-traction rubber outsole that is slip resistant. The boots also go all the way up to your mid calf but can be rolled down to the ankle.  

“These boots are perfect for sloshing around the yard or barn,” one five-star reviewer said. “They are comfortable and supportive without being too high on the leg and restrictive.”

Cooljob 6-Pair Gardening Gloves

These are the gardening gloves we named “Best Rubber” after evaluating 17 different pairs for their comfort, design, durability, quality, and value. This six-pack is extremely affordable (especially at this sale price!) and ends up being a mere $2 per pair. 

“These are very nice garden gloves,” one senior citizen gardener shared. They called the gloves “comfortable, flexible, breathable, and protective on the palm side.”

Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears

These shears are a sister model to the ones we named “Best Bypass” in our roundup of editor-loved and editor-recommended gardening tools. This Fiskars tool has a ⅝-inch cut capacity thanks to a rust-resistant steel blade that is sharp enough to branches, flower stems, and more. “They cut through limbs, vines, and stems up to ½-inch thick, like butter,” one reviewer said. “These are the best I have found.”

Another shopper called these shears their “go to pruners” and even “ended up buying another pair because my grandma wanted to keep my original ones.”
