Think Outside

Watch this hercules of the yard scene in action and you’ll never guess how much it weighs. We’ll tell you—fifteen pounds. Yep, that’s it. Made from vinyl-coated nylon, this collapsible canvas barrow sports industrial strength skills perfect for hauling soil, shrubs, gravel, or produce (up to 150 pounds total). And that’s not even the best part: It collapses to lay flat on the ground so all you gotta do is sweep, rake, roll, or drag directly inside without straining your back. Once you’re through, fold it up for easy storage and then pour yourself a glass of lemonade. You earned it.

Color us absolutely taken with this two-in-one lantern: it’s got up to seven different hues ready to brighten your mood with the press of a button. Or opt for a warm natural glow if you please. What’s most unusual about this little light is the hidden speaker inside which you can control easily through your phone. Garden party….kitchen-dance-off’s...cozy reading sessions...whatever you’re in the mood for, it has a song (and a glow) to match.

Gardening: good for the soul, but sometimes hard on the back. Not when perched on a comfy, lightweight, foldable stool. Take a load off on the sturdy steel frame and durable polyester canvas seat and reach for one of the five wood-handled tools (a weeder, two trowels, a fork and a cultivator/rake) that tuck right into the front of the included storage bag. Gardeners can store their seeds, phones and snacks in the detachable tote. Pack a poncho, too, for sudden April showers.

This all-star cast of flower-planting, weed-wacking, and seedling-supporting tools is here to light up your garden shed for years to come. You’ll find all the essentials inside, hand-forged In Holland from tough-as-nails boron steel with ash hardwood handles: A potting trowel for easy scooping, a 3-tine cultivator for taking care of hard-to-reach jobs, a weeder for, well, that one’s obvious, and a forged fork and trowel for breaking up the toughest of soils. All you need now is a tall iced tea and a sunny day.

Ready to trim down some wild branches? Grab a big pair of these garden scissors to tackle your hardier ones, or a small pair for a more bonsai-style situation. Their handles are ambidextrous and inlaid with walnut for comfort; your hands will appreciate the little extra effort as you tackle your toughest gardening.

We hand-selected these seeds (and might’ve had a little fun doing it) to add a some extra color to your world. Each prettily-packaged set of 11 pouches includes peach strawflower, cupcake cosmo, madame butterfly snapdragon and more to bulk up your bouquet possibilities. You’ll also find small galvanized garden markers inside, just so you know which is which.
