What is a garden kneeler?

A garden kneeler is a handy tool for the garden that combines a foam kneeling pad to protect your knees with garden tool storage, handles at the side to help you get back up to standing, and some models also turn over to become a little seat.

Garden kneelers are available in large gardening and DIY stores and could mean you can spend longer enjoying your gardening with less aches and pains.

A garden kneeler is great if you have difficulty kneeling or bending, find it challenging getting up from a kneeling position, or you suffer from pain, or fatigue.
