While gardening season begins this spring in the South, many of us are prepping our outdoor spaces, planning our front porch containers, and shopping for stellar time-saving garden tools. Those who garden regularly, however, know that not all garden tools are created equally. Indeed, they know at times, it’s worth spending a bit more for a tool that will last a lifetime.
With a bit of searching and ingenuity, though, garden item deals that are economical and comparable to more expensive brands can be found. With low prices and a wide variety, Dollar Tree, as we’ve mentioned before, is a good place to find deals on garden supplies, tools, and pots that are typically higher-priced elsewhere. Just in time for the gardening season, we’ve curated a list of some of the best Dollar Tree garden finds.
Stackable 3-Pot Planters
Whether used alone or with multiple other planters, these Stackable 3-Pot Planters for $1.50 are a boon for small-space gardening. With three sections and assorted colors, including tan, green, and terracotta, the only challenge will be deciding which plants to pot in each divided slot. Here’s a tip: go with all strawberries, and stack one on top of the other to create even more vertical gardening space.
Finger Coated Gloves
Traditional cloth garden gloves are useful for gardening. However, when you need more protection for your hands from dirt, chemicals, thorns, or moisture during heavier gardening, Dollar Tree’s Finger Coated Gloves provide the barrier you need. At $1.50 for a pair, it’s sensible and economical to stock up on a few pairs for yourself and any helpers for more intensive gardening work.
Garden Collection Metal Trellises
At just $1.50 for a set of two, it’s easy to understand why the decorative Garden Collection Metal Trellises are a great option for use in planters to guide plants as they grow. Use them for training climbing plants and providing reinforcement. Choose from two colors: dark green or black.
Garden Collection Small Shovel
A small shovel is essential for any garden. With a soft ergonomic grip and priced at $1.50, the Garden Collection Small Shovel is an easy pick over more expensive options from other garden tool brands.
Garden Collection Cultivator
Just like a small spade or shovel, a cultivator is also a necessary garden tool for breaking up hard soil or dirt and spreading it evenly. With a soft-grip handle, a hole at the end for easy hanging, and a low price of just $1.50, this three-pronged Garden Collection Cultivator is a simple tool for an important gardening job.
Gardening Tote Bag
A container for holding all the gardening tools is essential, especially if it’s a long trek to your garden. Carry clippers, spades, trowels, and more in Dollar Tree’s Gardening Tote Bag. Priced at $6 with four fun patterns to choose from, this bag will ensure you have the right gardening tool bag on hand for each gardening task.
Garden Collection Knee Pads
However, necessary bending and kneeling are part of garden work; it can take a toll on achy knees and joints. Kneed pads can alleviate the issue. At only $6 per set, with four fun patterns to choose from, the Garden Collection Knee Pads are an obvious choice for serious gardeners who want to protect their knees.
Watering Can
Plants need water to survive, and the Colorful Plastic Watering Can at Dollar Tree is simple and effective for watering plants. Priced at just $1.50, it’s affordable to use two and station one for indoor use and the other for outdoor watering.
Garden Collection Plant Labels
Keep plants easily identifiable with simple plant labels. With ten labels in each pack, just use a marker to write the plant name on each label, then stake them near the plant. Use them in your container herb garden to differentiate between fresh parsley and cilantro or rosemary and lavender.
Garden Collection Self-Watering Pot
If you haven’t yet tried a self-watering plant, take this as your hint to this Garden Collection Self-Watering Pot from Dollar Tree. The accompanying saucer collects overflow water from the pot, which can then be stored and used by the plant as needed. It’s a simple concept for those who might forget to water regularly. At $5 for a pot and saucer, it’s an easy way to keep your plants watered, green, and healthy as can be.
