Great Gardening Gear For Seniors

(This post was updated on July 6, 2023)

In my second home in Tulsa, a patio apartment, I started gardening on the patio. And I kept at it for 8 years.

My ankle was still in the steel boot at times, but then I had a second surgery shortly after I moved here and the ankle was better.

Then came the third surgery just after I moved into a larger apartment with a yard. I was afraid I’d never garden again. It took a full year before I could really walk again without a walker or a knee scooter.

But as the years have passed, I’ve gotten less strong. I can’t do as much and I wear out easily. Add to that problems with my back and ankle, and it makes gardening a problem for me.

So I need every gadget or aid there is to keep doing what I love, planting and gardening. I’ve found some garden aids below that I’ll share with you.

TheXceptional Wheelie Easy-Up:

This gardening stool with wheels allows you to work from a sitting position without straining your knees and back.

It provides the convenience of a regular gardening kneeler with all-new portability.

Plus it allows the elderly or those with knee/back pain to get back to gardening again.

LUCKYERMORE Garden Kneeler:

This is the LUCKYERMORE Garden Kneeler and Seat. And those rather scary looking gloves are molded to help you dig and work in soil.

2 in 1 DESIGN:

You can use the gardening tool as a bench when you’re pruning plants, and have a rest when you’re tired.

Then flip it over and you can use it as a kneeling stool when weeding or planting.

Gorilla Cart:

This Multi-Purpose Garden Wagon with a steel frame has a capacity to hold 600 pounds.

The quick-release dumping system allows you to unload with ease. And the 10-inch pneumatic tires and tight-turning steering make it easy to maneuver over difficult terrain.

Floral Gardening Tool Set:

The lady gardener might like these floral garden tools. Might as well be pretty as well as useful!

Outdoor Folding Camping Chair + Garden Tool Bag:

Often when I’m out working in the garden I’m tired, but I don’t want to go inside just yet. So this chair would come in handy.

I could sit down near where I’m working to rest for a bit. Then carry it with me.

It includes 1 large main compartment with 3 side pockets. It also comes with 3 stainless steel tools, including trowels, garden forks and weeders. The fabric is waterproof.

Yongkist 9 PC All-in-one Garden Tools Set + Detachable Canvas Tool Bag:

This tool set could come in handy when you’re out in the garden working. And look what all you get with it.

They’ve just about thought of everything so you don’t have to get up and go find the hand sprayer or the shears, etc.

I would like to enjoy my days out in the sun digging in the dirt, so this type of gardening gear could be helpful.

Gardening is not only good in terms of exercise, but it also improves mental health.

I’m going to do what I can to ensure that I’m able to garden for a long time.
