Fall is here, and with cooler temperatures, it’s the perfect time to get outside and dig into your garden. Not only is the weather more comfortable, but many plants also thrive better in the cooler conditions, establishing stronger roots with less stress. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting, having the right tools can make all the difference. At the Garden Center at Copper Creek in Nisswa, we offer a curated selection of gardening tools and products to help you work smarter, not harder.
Out with the Old: Clear Weeds and Prep Your Garden Beds
As summer ends, weeds naturally slow down, making them easier to remove. Clearing out old growth and weeds gives your plants a fresh start and helps them thrive. 
Our Heavy-Duty Cultivator is perfect for this task. Its strong tines can easily penetrate dense, rocky soil, making weed removal effortless while aerating the soil for optimal nutrient absorption.
After clearing, trim and prune your plants with our Durable Large Garden Shears. These shears are designed with an ambidextrous grip and wide handles, making them comfortable to use with or without gloves.
Moving Dirt: Dig, Plant, and Enhance Soil with Ease
Fall brings more moisture, softening the soil and making it ideal for digging, planting, and adding compost or organic matter.
Enhance your gardening efforts with the Hori Hori Classic Knife. This versatile tool features a heat-tempered, hollow-back blade, a full stainless-steel tang, a twine cutter, and a comfortable walnut handle—making it your go-to for digging, planting, and even harvesting.
Planting for Spring: Get Ahead with Fall Planting
Fall is the best time to plant perennials, bulbs, trees, and shrubs. The cooler weather allows roots to establish without the stress of summer heat, resulting in stronger plants come spring.
Our Ergonomic Garden Spade is perfect for tackling both soft and rough soil, turning and spreading soil, prepping beds, and planting seedlings. Its stainless-steel blade and comfortable handle make garden tasks a breeze.
Protect Your Knees: Comfortable Garden Work with Garden Guru Knee Pads
Spending time in your garden can take a toll on your knees, especially when cleaning up garden beds or planting cover crops.
Our Garden Guru Knee Pads provide all-day comfort with high-density foam padding and a sturdy shell to protect against cuts and scrapes. These knee pads come with adjustable straps, ensuring a snug fit that moves with you.
Keep It Clean: Protect Your Hands with Leepa Garden Gloves
Fall garden cleanup is essential to reduce pests and diseases that could overwinter and cause problems next growing season.
Keep your hands protected with Leepa Garden Gloves, designed for heavy-duty weeding and general garden work. Made from vegan leather, canvas, and brushed cotton, these gloves feature a suede-like texture, padded knuckles, and a convenient grommet for hanging on your garden belt.
