I have several garden tools that as a woman make gardening easier for me as I don't have as much strength as a man. They are ratcheting pruners both the hand held and the large size with extendable handles to give you extra reach without getting on a ladder. The ratcheting take less hand strength allowing you to work longer without hand, back or neck strain. I also have a D-handle spear head shovel that makes digging much easier for a woman. One other item I have is a metal frame kneeling bench for the garden it has handles to help you get up. I have used this a lot after a back injury so I could garden. I am a senior gardener not really physically challenged other than age and like tools that make it easier for me to garden using less physical exertion.
