Which tools and gear does Natasha Nicholes recommend for gardening enthusiasts?

I love tools that make gardening feel more fun than fussy, and I lean toward things that are useful, durable, and a little bit joyful.

From my content and partnerships, here are a few I recommend for gardening enthusiasts:

1. Your hands – truly my favorite “tool” for weeding, planting, harvesting, and nurturing.
2. CobraHead-style cultivators and claws for weeding and breaking up soil.
3. Garden hods for harvesting and rinsing produce.
4. A solid garden tool set with shovel, trowel, cultivator, weeder, and gloves.
5. Comfort extras: a good kitchen compost bin, a hammock for post-garden naps, and fun items like “plant whisperer” shirts or gardener mugs.

Are you mostly gardening in raised beds, in-ground, or containers?
