A portable rack for garden tools provides support for various garden tools during gardening and light landscaping operations. The present rack is particularly well suited for the support of the upper ends or handles of larger elongate tools, such as shovels, rakes, hoes, etc., with the lower working ends of the tools remaining on the ground. The gardener thus need not bend over or stoop to pick up such a tool from the ground each time a different tool is needed. The present rack essentially comprises a central column with a sharpened lower end to facilitate ground penetration. A laterally extending spade or blade bit is provided above the lower end, which precludes rotation of the central column within the hole formed in the ground when the device is anchored. A lower foot planting crossmember is provided above the spade or blade, for the gardener to plant the device into the ground in the manner of using a shovel or spade. An upper, tool rest crossmember extends across the central column near the upper end thereof, with the tool rest crossmember having a series of spaced apart pins or fingers extending laterally therefrom and defining a series of tool rest positions therebetween. A top crossmember may also be provided, for suspending or supporting additional articles therefrom as desired. The present portable rack is preferably constructed as a rigid, unitary structure, by welding solid steel rod bar stock components together. Alternative materials may be used as desired.
