20 Great Gardening Tools On Sale For Less Than $50

Mid-May is coming up quickly, which means for most of the country, the final frost of this season is behind us (phew!). That means gardening season is finally here — whether you’re trying to fill your green space with veggies, herbs or simply some wildflowers. Let the green games begin.

With that in mind, you may be looking to step up your growing game in 2025. That’s why we made a list of gardening tools you need, all of which are currently on sale for less than $50 or less. From a hori hori knife to a mini greenhouse, you can replace or upgrade your garden tools — without your bank account taking too big of a blow. By June, your yard could truly look like a green oasis.

3. Hip, Hip, Hori: Dig, plant, saw, measure and divide, with a hori hori knife. Going for 30% off (or $25), now is a great time to replace your old one.

7. Soil Safety: Make sure everything is good from the ground up using a soil moisture meter that’s going for 35% off. If levels are low, it’s watering time!

That’s where a folding garden kneeler and seat comes in handy — it’s $50 for a limited time, and has bunches of side pockets so you don’t lose your tools in the dirt. It’d do double duty for low-down household cleaning tasks, too.
