Martha Stewart's new gardening line is 'beautiful' and 'useful' — starting at $20

Protect that green thumb — and all your other digits — with a hardcore pair of gardening gloves that hit around the middle of your forearm thanks to elongated cuffs. Their soft, grain leather construction is designed to accommodate lots of movement. The waterproof pair is strong enough to protect you from thorns and comes in sizes small to extra large.

If you thought this gardening-tool foursome was just very pretty to look at, you'd be sorely mistaken. Of course, the wooden handles are chic, but they're also designed to fit perfectly in your hands. Plus, the tools are fade-, rust-, and weather-resistant. The set includes a trowel, transplanter, short cultivator and long cultivator — each has a little rope on the end so you can hang it up when you're done.

Cultivate some serious gardening style with this smooth leather tool belt accented in shiny gold hardware. The unisex accessory has an adjustable waist; it goes from 28 to 60 inches. With this catchall, you've got space for all your trowels, shears, gloves and more. It even has a little ring to hook your keys.

Fall leaves, spring clippings — whatever organic waste you've got from the garden, this set of rip resistant bags can handle it. The two reusable fabric containers will take the place of garbage bags, paper bags any other single-use catchalls you're used to. Each bag is 24 inches all around and can hold an impressive 1,000 pounds. And, of course, they look cute.

Getting your hands dirty is par for the course, but a sharp-looking tool bag maintains your gardening aesthetic regardless. This one is constructed of sturdy, waterproof waxed canvas in olive green or khaki with a strong woven handle — it's kind of like a tote bag meets a utility bag. It holds up to 50 pounds of supplies and has inner and outer pockets.

There's nothing glamorous about weeds...unless you count this stately weeding hand tool from Martha's new QVC gardening collection. The 13-inch gadget gets to the root of the problem effectively and looks great doing it.

There's only one clear-cut way to ensure all your snips and clips are done precisely and with very little blood, sweat and tears — and that's with a top-quality set of pruners and garden scissors given the seal of approval by Martha herself. This fade-, rust-, and weather-resistant set even comes in a handy carrying bag.

This next-level knife set includes a Japanese Hori Hori knife with a marked blade and a serrated knife. Both are handy for heavy-duty jobs like cutting through roots, hacking through weeds and digging tough soil. Each knife comes with a protective sheath.

Martha's all about tips and tricks. One of them from her gardening line? Pepper your space with super-realistic faux fur plants and give yourself a break here and there. This lush hanging fern looks like the real deal, but no maintenance is required. This beauty comes ready to hang with a chain on an S hook.

Martha's got plenty of books under her belt, and this guide to gardening is the latest. It's packed with detailed know-how for gardeners of all levels, and that includes big, beautiful photos to inspire your growing passion. And frankly, it makes a beautiful coffee table book or even a thoughtful gift.
