A pair of gardening shears include two blade units each having a first cutting blade and a second cutting blade. Thus, the first cutting blades 21 and the second cutting blades 22 of the two blade units are movable simultaneously to prune the branches, so that a user can operate the gardening shears at different directions, thereby facilitating the user pruning the branches. In addition, the second cutting blade 22 of each of the two blade units is located beside the respective pivot portion 24 which has a reinforced strength, so that the second cutting blades 22 of the two blade units are used to cut a harder material, such as the steel wire 50.
