Bottle-Popping Shovels

The Fred & Friends 'BEER GARDENER' Garden Trowel Enables Libations Outdoors

— February 5, 2016 — Art & Design
Gardening is becoming a popular pastime for the retired or those looking to reconnect with nature, so products are being created like the Fred & Friends 'BEER GARDENER' Garden Trowel to support new gardeners.

Rather than just offering users the ability to dig holes for bulbs and seeds, the trowel is outfitted with a section that's designed for popping open bottles of beer or soda. Crafted from durable stainless steel, the trowel makes backyard get-togethers a little more flexible as guests can simply grab the shovel to open a bottle.

For some, gardening is a more feminine pastime, but as more men partake in the hobby products like the Fred & Friends 'BEER GARDENER' Garden Trowel are helping to satisfy a need for masculinity.
