much easier and faster. However, even if one may have the most
sophisticated tools and implements, but does not know how to
use them, they are useless. In order to do horticultural
operations successfully, one must have a good working
knowledge of the tools, implements and equipment before using
them.
Hand Tools

animals or machines. They are being used in performing farm
activities which involve small areas like school garden and home

REFLECT:
We use tools in our everyday life at home and every
occupation uses tools as well. We use a comb for our
hair and a toothbrush for our teeth. A carpenter uses a
hammer; an artist uses a pencil. Farmers use tools like
rake, shovel in agricultural farm tasks. Providing an
understanding of how to use the proper tool for a job is
important in understanding and establishing skills for
ADL (activities of daily life) is paramount for these
students to learn and reinforce.
