Ranging from novice to Master Gardener, the team spent countless hours scrutinizing products to ensure each tool would be appealing and invaluable to gardeners of every level. To make the list, each gardening product went through an initial review by the team. If it did not meet standards set by The joe gardener Company, the product was eliminated from the process. For those passing the initial review, the tools were then included in a comprehensive evaluation process and truly put to the test. Over the course of several months, the team went to work digging, spraying and wear-testing to unearth the best of the must-have products for gardeners.
“It was not an easy task for our team but it was important to gain hands- on knowledge and experience with the products under consideration,” said Lamp’l. “As a result, we are confident that the items on the must-have list will truly enrich the gardening experience.”
