Hi all,

as part of my class I have to solve some garden related problems through
product design. This could be anything from a task being too hard to do/
to reach/ break etc

- Can you think of any products (e.g. sprinklers, spray gungs, mowers,
blowers etc) that could be improved in some way or could be better
designed for certain gardening niche markets (e.g. different climates,
large/small gardens, disabilities etc).

- Are there some problems which still haven't been solved through design
and so designing a totally a new product for the travel market? Or
adding a feature to a product to improve it in some way.

Thanks guys, really appreciate any help and would love to hear your
responses.

A mower that folds smaller somehow in order to be stored in a smaller
space in today's overcrowded garages. Ditto a snow blower.

A pruner with telescoping handles to reach high branches or
into the middle of our ~10 ft. wide semicircle of junipers.

Ratchet anvil pruners and loppers for arthritic hands.
