Many garden tasks require working down low, which can put a strain on your back if you stay on your feet or cause pain if you kneel on the ground. That’s where garden kneelers come in. Use one of these and you can avoid bending too far or putting your knees directly on to the hard ground. We’ve rounded up the top picks for you in our selection.
