A good pruner is an important part of any gardening tool kit. A well-designed pair will have sharp blades and comfortable handles, allowing you to keep trimming without feeling pain in your hands.

You should look for a pair with a comfortable grip position-our experts prefer pruning shears with a lock on the side or end of the handle. If you are buying for left-handed gardeners, look for a pair specially designed for them.

Our gardening team in East Sussex tested ten pairs in eight weeks-to see which ones were rated as the best pruning shears.

Even gardeners who like to feel the soil in their hands still need a set of high-quality gardening gloves in certain jobs. No one wants to pull out nettles or prune prickly shrubs without protection. In cold and wet days, gloves can truly protect your hands from natural disasters.

But choosing the right type is important. We have tested sturdy leather gloves designed for more demanding tasks such as pruning prickly bushes. But we also provide suggestions for lighter, more personal garden gloves for gardeners who spend more time on more delicate tasks, such as planting or headless work.

Whether it's the local fox family starting pranks or the timid hedgehog enjoying feeding, the wildlife camera is the best way to ensure that your buddies won't miss anything.

Wildlife cameras are programmed to take still photos or videos when motion is detected, which can capture fascinating photos of local species. But with a low-quality camera, you may see images that are out of focus-or if the camera can't detect anything, you won't see anything at all.

See which of the best wildlife cameras have passed our test.

A high-quality garden shovel should be able to easily dig and cultivate your garden. Mainly used to prepare beds and borders, move soil and compost, and plant perennials, shrubs and trees. But they can also be used to cut roots when removing shrubs and trees.

Spades come in various shapes, sizes and materials. But according to our gardening experts, choosing a wooden handle is better than plastic due to overall comfort and durability.

Bird watching is a popular pastime, and encouraging birds to enter your garden can add color and vitality to your outdoor space. Some birds can also help your garden by eating common garden pests such as snails and aphids.

The bird's nest box can not only provide shelter for the little birds, but also allow your loved ones to enjoy the fun of taking care of them.

Forks are especially useful for gardens with clay or compacted soil. But before choosing the perfect tool, you need to consider the height of the recipient.

If the shaft of the fork is too short for the height of the gardener, it will put extra pressure on their back and turn the easy gardening process into a painful chore.

You can also consider using a fork with a longer or angled axle so that your giveaway does not need to bend too much.

Gardening may be a way to relax the mind, but it is usually difficult for the joints, especially when you have to kneel for a long time.

A decent kneeler can protect the gardener from pain caused by cold and wet ground, muddy knees, and bruises or injuries caused by uneven surfaces, stones and thorns.

We tested different kneeling mats, kneeling mats and knee pads to help you choose the right one for your friend. Check out our selection of top garden kneeling positions.

If your green finger friends are already equipped with their favorite tools, then you can keep it simple and buy them a new plant or some seeds to sow.

However, instead of going to the nearest garden center, try searching online. Not only is it convenient, but you will often find varieties that are not available in the garden center, which you can buy from companies that specialize in specific types of plants.

Squirrels like to attack bird feeders in search of nuts and seeds, and often destroy them in the process. Therefore, if you buy a squirrel-proof feeder for your family or friends who like to feed birds, it may be the perfect gift.

According to our tests, we recommend avoiding the use of feeders with plastic accessories, because squirrels can quickly nibble on them, and try to choose a simple feeder that has almost no corners and gaps, is easy to clean and does not carry the possibility Diseases affecting birds.

The best squirrel-proof feeder-we tested 12 different feeders to see which ones were rated as the best.

Gardening should not be all about work and play, but as the weather gets colder, sitting and enjoying the outdoor space becomes less comfortable or enjoyable.

Investing in a fire pit can not only keep your loved ones warm, but also beautify the terrace or provide a new way of cooking dinner.

From fire pit tables to portable campfires, we pick out some of the most popular fire pits and provide useful buying advice.

This is a gift that is constantly given. For a monthly payment of £4.99, your recipient will receive 10 issues per year with seasonal recommendations on what to do, when to do, and the results of testing different plant varieties, gardening techniques and products.
