The Editors’ Cut: 12 Next-Level Tool Upgrades for the Garden

March 7, 2025

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly newsletter dedicated to all things beautiful and useful for the garden, patio, porch, and terrace. Raring to get your hands dirty and start planting? We are, too. For most of us, though, the last frost is still weeks away (at least). What to do? Use this time to plan out this year’s garden, order some seeds, and get your tools in order. Take inventory of what you have and clean and sharpen the dirty and dull. And if your tools’ best days are behind them, might we suggest these upgrades so you can start this growing season on the right foot? —The Gardenista Editors
