With America celebrating its 250th year in 2026, reshoring — the return of manufacturing to U.S. soil — continues to gain momentum, especially in the garden and outdoor product sectors. These success stories show how American companies are rebuilding domestic production and creating jobs. Our own directory highlights shining examples already making a difference: Flame Engineering continues to produce its popular Red Dragon and Weed Dragon propane torch kits entirely in the USA, offering American gardeners a reliable, organic weed-control solution. Big Gator Tools designs and manufactures its precision drill guides in the U.S., serving both DIY homeowners and professional landscapers.
Additional reshoring wins we recommend spotlighting or adding to your list:
• Bully Tools – Fully reshored and 100% made in Ohio with American steel — their garden tools prove domestic production can compete on quality and price.
• Red Pig Garden Tools – Family-owned in Oregon, bringing traditional hand-forged toolmaking back to American soil. These companies prove that garden and outdoor manufacturing is thriving again in the USA. Our broader efforts to turn dead malls into manufacturing hubs (see our article on that topic) are creating even more space for companies like these to grow.
