In the world of gardening, having the right tools can make all the difference. As we delve into the latest trends for 2025, here's a rundown of the best watering tools to cater to various plant types and specific gardening needs.
**Watering Wands**
The Relaxed Gardener Watering Wand stands out with its ergonomic 15" design, offering 8 spray patterns including mist, flat, full, shower, soaker, cone, center, and jet. This versatile tool reduces hand strain, providing precise, leak-free watering that's ideal for delicate flowers, seedlings, hanging baskets, and even washing patios or pets.
**Garden Sprinklers**
For large gardens requiring broad yet directed watering, the GoodHome Watering Sprinkler is a great choice. With adjustable angle control ranging from 30° to 360°, it ensures even water distribution and covers up to 320m². The sprinkler fits most hose connectors, making it a practical choice for those with extensive outdoor spaces.
**Garden Hoses**
Flexzilla 50-Foot Garden Hose is rated best overall for durability and flexibility. For targeted watering in raised beds and tilled soil, the LINEX Garden Soaker Hose is a lightweight, easy-to-use option, although it may have durability concerns over extended use.
**Solar Water Features and Water Butts**
Solar water features help maintain humidity and attract wildlife, enhancing garden aesthetics and microclimate. Water butts are essential for sustainable rainwater harvesting, useful for outdoor watering tasks. Coopers of Stortford offers a variety of these, alongside tools for garden hydration and maintenance.
**Plant Misters**
While specific 2025 models were not detailed, fine mist sprayers or watering wands with mist settings (like the Relaxed Gardener wand) are best for sensitive seedlings and indoor plants needing gentle moisture without soil disturbance.
**Bird Baths**
Bird baths serve as water features that support local wildlife and contribute to garden ambiance. Gardeners typically seek durable, weather-resistant designs that are easy to clean, but specific 2025 best options were not listed in the search.
**Garden Spray Guns**
The Relaxed Gardener Watering Wand functions as a multi-use spray gun, combining multiple spray patterns and ergonomic controls to reduce fatigue, making it a versatile tool for various watering scenarios.
**Watering Cans**
When it comes to watering cans, the Flopro Quick Fill and Flo Can-Can watering can, priced at £19.99, is the best choice in 2025. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Ward watering can, priced at £7, is available from B&Q. The Elho Plunge 1.7L Indoor Watering Can, disguised as a vase and priced at £14.79, is a stylish choice for house plants.
For outdoor plants, aim the spout around the base of the plants towards the roots and give them a good soak to encourage plants to root deeply. The Garden Trading 10L Galvanised Watering Can, priced at £45, made of hard-wearing galvanised steel with a brass rose, is a sturdy choice. The Kent & Stowe 9L Long Reach Watering Can, priced at £31.99 (save £8 or 20%), has a long arm for watering hanging baskets and deep flower beds. The Ward Woodstock 1L Indoor Watering Can, priced at £7, is ideal for keeping out on kitchen surfaces so you don't forget to water herbs.
When choosing a watering can, consider the capacity, material, balance, grip, and reach based on the plants you're watering and their location. The Haws Indoor Plastic 700ml Watering Can, priced at £9.99, delivers Haws' upmarket aesthetic at a lower price. The Burgon and Ball Waterfall 5L Watering Can, priced at £34.49, has a one-piece round handle for easy use, and the flip top rose can be instantly swapped for a pouring spout. House plants should be watered at the base to avoid splashing their leaves and so water is targeted directly at their roots.
Indoor plants can be nurtured effectively using a watering can like the Elho Plunge 1.7L Indoor Watering Can, which doubles as a vase and is stylish for home-and-garden décor. A lifestyle tip to keep in mind is that house plants should be watered at the base to avoid splashing their leaves and target water directly at their roots.
