10 Essentials Every Gardener Should Own

The garden tools are sharpened and ready to go, which means we're counting down the days until the ground thaws and we can start planting. But before ordering seeds, it's important to take some time to finalize your landscape. Designing an outdoor space is just as involved and requires as much thought as the interior of your house. Start by figuring out what you want from your space, find your style, and plan for plants year-round enjoyment. In short, there's a lot to be done before you can get out there and start planning. One last to-do to add to your list? Make sure you're prepared with the right gear.

To help ensure you're able to keep digging—in comfort and style—throughout the season, we've rounded up a number of our must-have gardening essentials. From the right garden stool to the best pair of boots to wear outdoors, our go-to gear list ensures that gardening is even more enjoyable than it's ever been before. If you're wondering what we're loving right now, click through to see which tools and accessories made our list. First up, our favorite thing to wear in the yard. While you can don pretty much anything while puttering around in your flower beds and vegetable garden, we're partial to a great pair of overalls. Otherwise known as bibs, our favorite pair of heavy-duty overalls move with you while also keeping you clean. Plus, they offer lots of storage in the form of 13 handy pockets. Wear them with our favorite one of our pairs of boots for a look that's both comfortable and weatherproof.

Other must-have gear? A go-to pair of gloves, a protective sun hat (to be worn in conjunction with SPF, of course), and a tote with room for everything you'll need.
