Okay, your mother or mother-in-law is not for the birds, or the bees, bats and butterflies either. Don’t despair there are still great gardening gifts out there. For example, Rittenhouse sells a line of garden tools that are the perfect gift for the avid gardener.
Rittenhouse’s
long history begins in 1914 when Moses Rittenhouse saw the need for
agricultural spraying equipment in the booming tender fruit region of
Niagara. He began by building orchard sprayers from his barn in Jordan Station, Ontario. The
company M.K. Rittenhouse was born, and soon established itself by
providing equipment and service to fruit and vegetable growing
communities throughout Ontario

All British-made Stainless Steel, these four tools provide a wide
range of uses. This kit consists of a Scoop; a two tine Weeding Fork; a
