Gardening Gloves

Gardening can be hard, manual work but even the less physical jobs like pruning can be tough on your hands. Gardening gloves are a must to prevent cuts and scratches and even stings while you work in your garden.

Available in a huge array of colours and designs, gardening gloves are a very affordable gift for anyone who enjoys their garden. Gardening gloves also come in a range of sizes, from those suitable for children to those that will fit the largest of hands.

The key to finding the perfect pair of gardening gloves is to find the right balance between protection and flexibility. Gardening gloves should be supple, yet tough and durable. It is important to get the correct size to fit properly. Your dexterity should not be compromised, or your sense of touch, even though you may need a strong defence against thorns and suchlike.

Gardening gloves can be made from rubber, leather or cloth and their prices vary accordingly. Cloth gardening gloves are suitable for light-medium weeding, rubber is best for muddy conditions and thorny plants, while leather is perfect for digging jobs.

Many gardeners will have several pairs of gardening gloves for different jobs in their garden.
