Gardening causes back, hip and leg aches for people of all ages. Here are some of the best gardening tools for seniors to make tending to a garden enjoyable again.

Gardening is a great pastime for seniors. Tending to a garden with a wide variety of plants during warm months gives them great outdoor exposure, fresh air and important nutrients from the sun. It also gives them a great sense of accomplishment when they can finally harvest their crops or see their flowers/plants grow. It’s a perfect hobby for people of age, but especially seniors who are looking for an outdoor hobby but don’t like to go far from home.

Does the senior in your life have a green thumb? Check out some of these awesome gardening stools you can get them to really enhance their gardening experience. Gardening stools provide a lot of support and relieve a great deal of arthritic knee and back pain that can come with hunching over crops for hours.

There are all kinds of gardening stools, from rollers to seats to foldable kneeler/chair combinations. Read on for more options to consider.
