A pair of gardening shears include a first driving arm, a jaw member pivotally connected with the first driving arm, a second driving arm pivotally connected with the first driving arm, a first handle mounted on the first driving arm, a second handle mounted on the second driving arm, and a locking unit mounted on the first handle. Thus, the jaw member is pivotally connected with the first driving arm by the first bolt, and the second driving arm is pivotally connected with the first driving arm by the second bolt, so that the jaw member and the second driving arm have different fulcrums to construct a multi-lever structure so as to perform the cutting action smoothly in an energy-saving way.
