Quality. Innovative. Craftsmanship.
The tools we make at Crafty Gatherer will still be around years from now — passed along, well-used, and well-loved.
A good garden tool really can make all the difference, and we’re proud to make ones that people can rely on, season after season.

Our story
Read more about our vision
We started Crafty Gatherer back in 2013 with a simple idea — to make quality, reliable garden tools that help make time in the garden a real pleasure. We're a family-run business that’s grown alongside our own family, and every tool we make is something we’re proud to use ourselves.
Our focus has always been on crafting tools that are built to last, care for the soil, and get the job done well.
Garden Tools worth the investment
Our tool range
Our Crafty Gatherer garden tools are proudly made right here in our workshop, in New Zealand. Each tool is handcrafted in small batches, allowing us to focus on quality. By producing in limited quantities, we can ensure every piece meets our high standards.
Built from strong, durable materials and made to handle real work, these tools are a smart investment for anyone serious about gardening.
For the tools we don’t make ourselves, we’ve sought out talented local artisans who share our commitment to craftsmanship and design, on each product page you can see who made the item.
Broadforks Designed to Support Healthy Soil
Shop here
Our handcrafted broadforks are designed to save you time in the garden while improving soil health. Whether you're breaking new ground or tending your beds, this tool offers deep aeration without disrupting soil structure. No turning, no tilling—just efficient, body-powered leverage that keeps your soil life happy and thriving.
Engineered, tested, and made by us right here in New Zealand, each broadfork is built from high-strength steel and made to last. We offer two sizes to suit different garden needs, soil types, and body strength—plus the option to add ergonomic monkey bars for extra wrist support. We’ve been refining our design since 2013, so you can feel confident you’re investing in a tool you’ll rely on for years to come.
