Garden Tools Made In The USA With Pride

If we all do our part ...

Did you know that if each American would just simply spend $30 a month (only a dollar a day) on American made goods instead of foreign goods (regular purchases of course), that would create or maintain almost 3,000,000 jobs that pay on average $40,000 per year? Sounds easy right? Seems like everyone would be doing that, right? The problem is we as Americans are not doing it.

If only Americans would take the extra step of checking where a product is made and really trying to buy a made in the U.S.A. product, things would really change quite quickly here in our country. Workers would have more job security, companies would recall laid off employees and even better they could start hiring again and get people out of the long unemployment lines.

Okay, so what does this all have to do with gardening or garden tools? Good question! The truth is each spring and summer, millions of Americans will head to their local garden supply store and buy millions of rakes, shovels, hoses, sprinklers and everything else one might need to use in a garden or around the yard, so why not buy a quality American made product since you are already looking? Maybe you would love to do just that but are unsure of which ones are in fact "made in America", well that is where this page will come in handy. I hope to give you many good product reviews and choices of garden tools that are all American made and basically do the research for you.

Please keep in mind this page is a work in progress and will grow as I find more and more products to promote that are all Made in the U.S.A. and hopefully this list can serve as a helpful guide for all of us to do our part by buying American made garden tools, hey at least it's a real good place to start.

Lawn & Garden Tip:

Watering in the morning or evening when temps are coolest and the wind is calm is most efficient because water loss through evaporation is minimal.

Made In The USA Garden Hoses

You can not go wrong with this made in the USA is the 25 foot Gilmour 10 Series 8 Ply Flexogen Hose. This garden features a patent pending 8 ply construction with double tire cord reinforced for strength. The hose is rugged and has a maximum kink resistant tolerance and sets the standard for quality hoses, with over 500 PSI burst strength! This particular hose also stands up to heavy duty tasks, comes with the brass couplings for great unrestricted water flow and also is treated and sealed to protect against mold and abrasion.
A great 50 Foot garden hose:

Gilmour 10 Series 8 Ply Flexogen Hose 1/2 Inch x 25 Feet 10-12025Green


The Gilmour 14 Series 4 Ply Reinforced Rubber/Vinyl Hose is made in the USA (Perk) but it is a little heavier weight then the above models, so you will have to decide the weight of the garden hose is a issue for you. The hose is made of 4 ply construction, weather and abrasion resistant and has pretty good burst strength. Overall a great made in the U.S.A. garden hose.
In general I found American made Gilmour brand hoses above to have the best overall quality for the price.

Another great choice for a American gardner!

The Big Burning Question

Why Should all Americans be concerned about the issue of buying Made in the U.S.A. products? Good question, glad you asked. The truth is the middle class is suffering the most from people not buying made in American made goods because they are simply not informed about how severe the issue really is. Think about yourself for instance how many things in your home is American made? Is your vehicle? Your television? Okay, think even small scale, where was your garden hose made? Don't feel bad if you can't answer any of the above questions, most other Americans can't either. Which is precisely why we all need to get involved and start making better consumer purchasing decisions for the benefit of all.

UPDATE 04/24/2012
***** I just received an email concerning these Corona Hedge clippers from a customer who received them and the package did not read Made in The USA (actually, it stated various other countries as manufactured in) so I am going to do some reasearch on why this product is being advertised on Amazon as a American Made product. If I do find that it is not made here in the USA, I will remove this product from this page. Thank you all for your understanding as I investigate where these clippers are made.

Looking The Most Fragrant Garden Flowers? Try These:

Narcissus Sweet Love

Ivory White with an even lighter ivory edge the "Narcissus Sweet Love" bulb is probably the hardest to get your hands on since it seems sell out quite quickly every year at most well-known flower bulb companies. There is a good reason for the high demand on this particular flower bulb and that is the overwhelming beautiful scent that this flower has. The blooming flowers range from 14" to 16" and the name fits them perfectly since they are sure to be loved in any flower garden.

Jonquilla Narcissi

The "Jonquilla Narcissi" is very fragrant and when grown will have two to six flowers with small cups from each bulb. These are ideal for cutting and putting in a vase because they are so beautiful and will make the whole room smell like it is filled with fresh cut flowers. These bulbs bloom late in the season and range from 6" to 24" depending on which type of bulb you select to plant. This most fragrant flower bulb is one of the most popular around the entire world and is the bestselling bulb in Germany. Named after Narcissus who in mythology was quite taken with himself, so taken in fact the legend goes that he stared at his own reflection in a pool of water until he saw his own reflection turn into a flower!

Peony Flowering Tulips

Often seen in cut floral arrangements because of their perfume smell the "Peony Flowering Tulips" have a scent that can melt many hearts and have you taking another sniff of the bouquet. These flower bulbs bloom in late April or early May and reach 14" to 22" in height depending on the particular type of bulb you plant. They are often mistaken for peonies and some call them the Double Late Tulips because of their long lasting blooms that they flower. A great bulb to try is the "Tulip Orange Princess" which is an award winning bulb because of its color and the striking glow with garnet purple flames surrounded by dark blue-green foliage.

Freesias

This very popular garden plant known as "Freesias" is grown most often because of the strongly scented flowers it produces. You can purchase these bulbs in a array of colors such as white, pink, blue, red and anything in between.

Lilium Candidum

Most commonly known as the Madonna lily the "Lilium Candidum" is a plant that blooms in the summer and has a six petal flower. The flowers are white and bloom close to ground level and this plant is highly susceptible to viruses and must be taken care of quite well to reach its full potential and beauty, but the smell of the bloomed flower is well worth the trouble.

    I think you've taken the work of determining in which company the garden tools are made, out of my hands. thanks
  • poddys May 23, 2012 @ 8:37 am | delete
    Excellent topic for a lens, and I agree, if everyone purchased home produced items, it would really help the economy and would stimulate jobs.

    I work in the UK for a tool wholesaler (Garden, Power Tools, Automotive Tools etc) and most of our products are made in China. We get a great staff discount, but even the "Professional" level tools break more often than not.

    A month ago I bought a garden fork, and within 20 minutes a prong had broken off. I got it replaced, but now after about an hour of use the prongs are already bent.

    If you could buy home produced items and know they were higher quality, I think most people should go with that.
