Ken Druse on Garden Gifts - A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - Monday December 9, 2019

By the time I finished fall cleanup in November, a few essential pieces of garden equipment were looking worse for wear, like that tarp I've been dragging around over a couple of seasons loaded with debris that suddenly looks more like lace than a tarp ought to.

Whether for ourselves or as gifts for gardening friends, my friend Ken Druse and I made a list of essential garden gear, what we use and love.

Garden writer Ken Druse is author most recently of “The Scentual Garden,” a big, beautiful book about fragrant plants. Besides top tools, we also gave a sneak peek about some of the promises we made to ourselves as we put the garden to bed—what we'll do differently next year, our early resolutions.
