Handy Garden Tool Organization

Jonelle Tannahill • May 31, 2021

Do you like working in the yard? It’s one of my favorite pastimes.  It relaxes me, and fills me up.

I love when my garden thrives, when I pick flowers and when I propagate my succulents. What I don’t like is searching for a hand shovel, trying to find my watering can or buying two of the same tool because I didn’t realize I already had one. I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time: how I need one place to keep all my hand-held garden items, gloves, bags for pulling weeds and more.  


Organizing your garden tools is important to make gardening feel simpler and more relaxing. I find that by organizing various garden tools nearby, the tasks seem easier, allowing me to work on the yard regularly if not daily. 


Sometimes just walking to the garage and searching for tools, a basket, or finding my sprayer is a chore.  I feel we ALL have accidently bought tools, thinking we lost what we already have, only to find it while cleaning and arranging stuff in the garage.  Your budget, space, or years of experience gardening makes no difference; you’ll find that organizing your tools will make gardening that much more of a pleasure.

Here’s a wall mug rack I bought for my coffee station project three years ago. Unfortunately, I ordered it online and when it arrived it was clearly TOO BIG. So, it sat in my garage. Now it’s on my patio, at the ready, storing in plain sight my gardening hand tools, gloves, watering can, plant spray bottle, garden hat and more. Okay, it’s not beautiful, but I’ve used it so much since I hung it up! I also placed our multitude of family boots below it so we can throw on our boots and go.



Regardless of your availability of space or your level of expertise and budget, you can find a way to keep your garden tools close at hand and organized so that you never buy what you already have ever again.

Here is an article I enjoyed reading that helped inspire me to hang this rack where I can use it. I hope it will inspire you to organize your garden tools with materials you most likely already have.

Below this canvas organizer is a favorite idea that would also be easy to make, or even easier to order.

And this is my garden where I USE my garden tools.  It's right across from the organizer.  I am really enjoying having those tools so easy to access.


That's it for May,  until next time!
