Eco friendly and sustainable garden tools made from 100% recycled plastic bottle lids, repurposing around 75 lids per tool that would otherwise end up in landfill.
They’re strong, lightweight, and comfortable to use, with an ergonomic, textured handle designed for everyday gardening.
By turning waste into practical tools, we support a circular economy keeping materials in use, reducing reliance on finite resources, and helping build a more sustainable future.
We are proud to partner with Country Needs People. An independent not-for-profit working alongside Indigenous partners to grow, secure, and strengthen Indigenous land and sea management Australia-wide.
Better Value. Everything you need.
Gardening on Country creates durable, Australian-made garden tools from 100% recycled plastic bottle caps. Unlike traditional tools, our products are designed as a one-piece construction for strength and longevity, while helping divert plastic waste from landfill and waterways. As an Aboriginal-owned business, we’re also grounded in caring for Country through practical, sustainable solutions.
Yes — every tool is made from post-consumer HDPE plastic, primarily collected bottle caps. For example, our Womby hand trowel diverts around 75 bottle caps from landfill. We collect, process, and manufacture the tools locally, giving new life to plastic that would otherwise go to waste.
Absolutely. We use HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a material commonly used in infrastructure like water pipes and playground equipment. Our tools are designed to be lightweight but strong, with a one-piece build that removes weak points — making them reliable for everyday gardening.
All of our products are proudly made in Australia, with manufacturing based on Gunaikurnai Country, in East Gippsland, Victoria. Keeping production local allows us to maintain quality, reduce transport emissions, and support Australian manufacturing.
Gardening on Country was created to turn post-consumer plastic waste into practical, long-lasting gardening tools. Every tool is handmade in Australia by us on Gunaikurnai Country.
