The invention discloses steel with excellent 
processing performances for a gardening tool and a production method thereof. The steel comprises the following components of, by weight, 0.45%-0.65% of C,0.1%-0.40% of Si, 0.5%-1.5% of Mn, 0.1%-0.5% of Cr, 0.02%-0.05% of Al, less than or equal to 0.4% of Ni, less than or equal to 0.5% of Cu, less than or equal to 0.020% of P, less than or equal to 0.010% of S and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities. The production method comprises the following steps that deoxidation is carried out by adopting Al, and time of 
argon blowing in 
tundish is larger than or equal to 10 minutes, the 
casting superheat degree is less than or equal to 25 DEG C, the thickness of a 
casting blank is 130-200 mm; charing temperature of the 
casting blank is larger than or equal to 500 DEG C; 
heating temperature is 1100-1200 DEG C, the temperature is kept for 2-5 hours, the 
rolling speed is 5-15 m per second, rolling start temperature is larger than or equal to 1080 DEG C, and rolling finish temperature is larger than or equal to 920 DEG C; and the cold speed is less than or equal to 20 DEG C per second, the casting blank is coiled at the temperature of 650-730 DEG C, then is put into a 
slow cooling pit for heat preservation and 
slow cooling for more than or equal to 48 hours, is cooled to below 200 DEG C, and then is air-cooled to the 
room temperature. According to steel with the excellent 
processing performances for the gardening tool and the production method thereof, the steel plate has excellent 
formability and 
wear resistance.
