Gardening is popular across ages and living situations — it can be done without a yard or even lacking a plant-friendly climate. For avid gardeners with yards to take care of, the right equipment ranges from sizable riding lawn mowers to compact weeding tools. Outdoor gardeners might also invest in apparel — hats, boots and gloves — for a more comfortable working experience. Cities and smaller living spaces incentivize the growingly abundant space of indoor garden kits and systems —these kits also require less equipment than an outdoor garden does.
