Disclosed is a leaf gathering and bagging system. The leaf gathering device comprises a mesh basket having a circumferential bump ring thereon, and two extendable legs cooperating with the mesh basket to guide leaves and other debris into the basket, the leaves and other debris being driven by a hand-held blower. The bag holder comprises a bump ring designed to cooperate with the basket bump ring, a cylindrical portion integral with the bag holder bump ring, and a retainer ring mounted on the cylindrical portion to retain a bag, which may be plastic, in an upright and open position. The cylindrical portion has three sockets thereon for slidably receiving three tripod legs. The bag holder and the extendable legs may be compactly stored in or on the mesh basket. The system provides an arrangement for first gathering leaves and other debris in the basket and thereafter provides for the transfer of the leaves and other debris to a bag ready for disposal.
