A multi-purpose garden tool comprises a head assembly (3) mounted at the end of a shaft (1) for pivotal movement about an axis (9) transverse the shaft. The head assembly (3) includes two transverse soil-working members (14, 15) carried between side plates (6) and mutually laterally spaced such as to contact the ground respectively in front of and behind the axis of pivoting of the head assembly (3) as the tool is advanced over the ground. One or both of the soil-working members takes the form of a blade (15). The pivoting of the head assembly (3) on the shaft (1) provides a self-levelling action ensuring that both soil-working members (14, 15) are kept in ground contact. The tool can be used to break down and level soil and to cut surface weeds. The blades (14, 15) may be of inverted V-form and may include small tines to form seed furrows. IMAGE
