My good friend, Wendy Tilley, TheRoseGardener.com, and her husband, Ryan, have a garden of 350 roses and a business of caring for 85 rose gardens in the Atlanta area. So, they made it their goal to find gardening tools to make their job easier, more fun and give them the ability to be gardeners for a long, long time. This goal led them to some wonderful products for gardeners. Some of these products I already have and highly endorse, and others are high on my Christmas list. (Hey Santa!)
First up is a product that I’ve used for more than 20 years–
Harlane Plant Labels … read all about them here.

Bionic Gloves...
Bionic technology was first developed for hockey gloves, and evolved to batting gloves, catcher’s mitts and first-base mitts.
This technology is available in garden classic, garden extended-wear, driving/dress, golf and heavy duty gloves.
And, they are machine washable! Read more.
Easy Arrangers … Grids that fit over the top of vases. I have these and they really work! For more details, read on.
