Gardening Tools for Seniors
Make Gardening Safer & Easier
Make your next digging, mixing, or garden tilling project much faster and easier with a quality auger from Power Planter. An auger is a drill attachment that helps dig precise holes efficiently, using less effort and in a shorter amount of time. Whether you are struggling with back pain or arthritis, Power Planter long-handled gardening tools for the elderly are a must-have.
Maintain Your Independence With Gardening Tools for Seniors
For many, getting outside and caring for their property is therapeutic, but aging can sometimes make these activities difficult. Yard work and gardening often put a great deal of stress on your body. And to make matters worse, ergonomic gardening tools are hard to come by, because they’re not designed for someone with back or hand pain. Fortunately, Power Planter creates gardening equipment for the elderly and disabled that reduces strain and keeps you active. Augers do the hard work for you, allowing you more freedom to complete gardening projects without worrying about feeling sore the next day.
Earth Augers are specialized drill attachments that make digging easier and more precise, making all of your gardening projects easier. They are ideal gardening aids for seniors who want to maintain their independence. Investing in low-impact gardening tools for older people helps relieve the physical stress of landscaping your home, no matter your condition. You’ll get the freedom to dig cordlessly when used with any cordless power drill, and enough power to dig through any type of soil with ease. With lengths ranging from 7 inches to 52 inches, you may never need to bend over to dig again. And since all of our augers are made in the USA, you can count on long-lasting quality craftsmanship. Check out our Earth Augers designed specifically for seniors below.

Why Choose Our Garden Augers
There are a variety of reasons why our augers are some of the best gardening tools for seniors and landscapers alike. Check out the following list, and you’ll see why our gardening tools for the elderly stand out from the rest:
- Less Pain: These tools are ideal for older gardeners, people with arthritis, or anyone with hand or back problems. They are easier to grip than shovels, and the longer augers minimize the need to bend over, making them excellent garden tools for older people who want to garden comfortably.
- Precise Holes: A bulb planter digs the correct size hole every time, reducing extra work and strain.
- Dig Faster: Because bulb augers make the work easier, you’ll spend far less time on a bulb planting project than you would if you had to dig each hole by hand, especially when it comes to projects that require holes for dozens or even hundreds of bulbs.
- Healthier Plants: A bulb planting tool gives you a hole that is ideally suited to the bulb you are planting, which means your plants will have good root-to-soil contact, helping them grow stronger and healthier.
