The present invention provides a binding machine for gardening in which the machine hardly comes in contact with crops, and the machine is easily inserted between the crops. Specifically, the binding machine for gardening comprises: a main handle (11) which is capable of drawing out a tape (60) from a front end portion (11a) thereof； a clincher arm (30) which is rotatably attached to the main handle (11)； a tape gripping apparatus (35) which is attached to a front end portion (30a) of the clincher arm (30), and is capable of gripping an end portion (60a) of the tape (60) drawn out from the front end portion (11a) of the main handle (11)； and a bonding means which bonds end portions (60a) of an overlapped tape (60). In a case where the clincher arm (30) completely closed with respect to the main handle (11) is viewed from the side, when a bonding direction of the bonding means is defined as a longitudinal direction, and a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is defined as a transverse direction, the tape gripping apparatus (35) is configured such that a width (H) in the longitudinal direction thereof is 1.5 times or less than a width (W) in the transverse direction thereof.[課題] 提供一種機械難碰觸農作物，且易將機械插入農作物之間的園藝用綑紮機。[解決手段] 園藝用綑紮機係包括：可從前端部11a拉出膠帶60之主把手11；緊箝臂30，係被安裝成對主把手11可轉動；膠帶握持裝置35，係被安裝於緊箝臂30的前端部30a，並可握持從主把手11之前端部11a所拉出的膠帶60的端部60a；以及束縛手段，係束縛重疊之膠帶60的端部60a；在從側面觀察成為對主把手11完全閉合之狀態之緊箝臂30的情況，在將束縛手段之束縛方向當作縱向，並將與縱向正交之方向當作橫向時，膠帶握持裝置35係作成縱向之寬度H成為橫向之寬度W的1.5倍以下。
