	Garden Cut Florist’s Scissors
	The long slender carbon-steel blades make it easy to get between foliage to cut only what you want to cut! We especially love these for creating hand-tied bouquets (which can be finicky indeed!).

	And Number 8 is...
	Joyce Chen Garden Scissors

	And Number 7...
	Cut & Hold Scissors
	These scissors are like magic; and very fun! You know those days when your are cutting in the garden – arms full, reaching way into the interior of the garden – and want to cut your favourite bloom? Well ! These will cut and then hold the flower – so you can bring it back to add to your bouquet. The wooden handles make them very handsome – great combo – useful, fun and handsome!

	And Number 6...
	Ratchet Pruners
	These Ratchet Pruners are ideal for cutting branches of blossoms – like Apple, Lilac, Bradford Pear etc.. They are so easy on the hand and wrist !!! Because you pump the handles. The first pump clamps the blade onto the branch – and then you simply pump the handles to easily cut through the branch. Watch here

	And Number 5 goes to...
	Japanese Garden Pruners
	The design of these Scissors has been around for 100’s of years. I guess they work!!! There is something very special about these heavy-duty, long-handled shears. The bronze washer resists weathering & keeps the blades aligned, the all steel construction is long-lasting, and the blade can be re-sharpened.

	Copper Garden Markers
	These Copper Garden Markers look so pretty in the garden and are practical too! Use a ball point pen to indent as you write the name of your favourite plants.
