These tools belonged to donor's father who had a market garden at his home on 4930 Marine Drive from 1971-79. Her father's name was Yee Law (or Herbert Law). After Yee stopped farming for a living in 1980, he gave these tools to the his daughter Gail and her family (the Yips). They presume that he no longer needed them. He maintained a 1 acre garden on his property until he couldn't anymore.
