Default Design Student- looking for help and advice

Hello,

My name is jenny and I am currently in my last year at university
studying product design. For my final project I am trying to produce a
product that makes the gardening experience ultimately more enjoyable.

From research, I have noticed that preparation before, during and after
a gardening activity can take various length of time (By preparation I
mean finding the right tools, getting changed in to old cloths, making
cups of tea, having to take of dirty cloths before entering the house
e.t.c) which results in time being wasted and the experience being
frustrating.

Considering the above I have a few rough ideas on a product that keeps
all your tools and equipment together in one place and can be
transported in to the garden with ease so as everything is there when
you need it, as well allowing easy storage and organisation of tools


I would really appreciate any answers to the following questions as
well as to my initial idea mentioned above so as to help me gain a
better insight into the gardening experience:

What do you find most difficult with the gardening process?


Fitting in the plants - never enough space


What do you find most enjoyable about the garden process?


Spring and
Sitting and admiring my handywork with a glass of something


Where do you store your garden tools?


around the garden sticking in the ground


Are your Garden tools organised?


yes I know exactly where I left them


Could you list your top 10 most important tools/equipment?


Secetaurs
Trowel
Mower
Shredder


Do you listed to music while you garden?


absolutly not, listening to the birds and weather is part of the reason for
doing it



Thank you for your time and effort.
