ABSTRACT:
A pair of garden shears is provided with a debris catcher that is attached to the back edge of each blade. Each debris catcher is transversely curved to extend over the blade and terminate in an upper edge that faces the upper edge of the other catcher. The catcher upper edges abut with one another to grip plant material therebetween and hold such plant material after it is cut by the blades. In addition, the transversely curved body of the catcher forms an upwardly facing, upwardly curved trough that is effective to catch small amounts of plant debris when the shears are being used in a vertically inclined position. The catchers are preferably molded from a plastic material and are flexible relative to one another to accommodate larger amounts of plant material.
