Each gardener will have, need different tools, depending on how they are growing, what they are growing and … um… age. As I got older, those kneeling stools, with handles to help you get up (and it flips to make a seat), became a staple. In my 20s, a kneeling pad was enough.
If you know the kind of gardeners your audience will be, it may help narrow the long list of potential tools. Even a given tool, like pruners, come in so many styles. While I need a big, 13 horsepower rototiller in much of my garden, it’s way too large for most folks. Garden rows which have been tilled with the big beast tiller, often just need a little rototiller, which might be more useful for most homeowners.
If you look in your tool shed, box, storage area, that should help. Container gardening, landscape gardening, in-ground/field growing all utilize different tools. It will be a challenging article for you, for anyone! Did the group give you a word count or number of pages? I mean, one could write a book on the subject! Gardening friends or people in the Master Gardener’s Program may have suggestions, based on what they are growing. You may have enough favorites of your own to more than fill the article.
I wonder if there’s a Dremel attachment which would help peel ginger! I was given a bag full of fresh, organic ginger, from Peru. The rhizomes were too small (finger thick) and knobby for the spoon method, so scraping, trimming with a “granny paring” knife was used, a tedious process! Maybe I should contact the Dremel company with a suggestion!
