A garden tool for planting flower bulbs and ornamentals includes an elongated shaft culminating at one end in a boring bit for starting a planting hole. A pair of fins, each radiating at a non-perpendicular angle from each side of the body of the boring bit for widening the hole and breaking up the dislodged soil. The pulverized soil remains in the hole for covering the seed or bulb after planting. The garden tool cultivates to a depth of approximately 6 inches. The tool is driven from the other end of the elongated shaft by a conventional 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch electric drill. The tool is suitable for use by the landscape professional doing volume planting or the home gardener and can be used in either prepared or unprepared seed beds. The tool presents an easy to use device which greatly reduces the time and labor associated with the planting process.
