They're cute enough, but my nephews prefer to garden with soup spoons from the kitchen drawer and Nanny's best sieve

DS received a set of Aldi garden tools for his birthday two years ago. They were the best I've seen available for his age group (5 at the time), being the appropriate size, and more importantly for me, robust. He was (and still is!) a 'builder/farmer' and his tools are used for real work. I'd spent a fortune on toy tools in the past, but these couldn't cope with the work he had for them. Although older and bigger now he still uses some of the Aldi tools as well as Joseph Bentley tools (child size versions of real garden tools) which he just loves.
