Gardening Gloves

Hi

I am in the process, thanks to other members advice from this forum in turning our garden into a pretty place to sit and relax.

Can anyone recommend some decent gardening gloves, that don't cost a fortune.

 

Jersey Becca...Hi there I buy 'Town & Country' leather gloves because I'm an accident waiting to happen and they are tough enough to protect my dannies :D, Mrs Pal prefers 'Briars 'Hide ones,robust all right but a little more flexable. Both do soak up the wet but hands stay dry. Both companies sell a wide range and I'm sure have a pair that will suit you.

 

Hello Becca,I favour this type of glove for gardening, it comes in various prices and widely sold in garden centres and supermarkets.
It has a great grip and all colours.......

 

Becca, check out your nearest Wilkinsons, they have a decent range of gardening gloves at very good prices. I bought a pair of leather thornproof ones from them 3 years ago for £3.99 and I`m still using them.

 

I've got a pair of leather gloves - so old I can no longer remember where I bought them or for how much. Over the years they've moulded themselves to the shape of my hands and taken some pretty hefty nicks from secateurs etc., but they have protected me, so my advice would be, get a sturdy pair fit for the purpose, not those with pretty designs on which protect your hands from absolutely nothing.

And, if I may, can I put in a plea to the manufacturers of gardening gloves? Us ladies do 'proper' gardening, we don't just go out and pick the odd flower, nor are we great big beefy guys with huge hands ... what we need are 'proper' gardening gloves in sizes small enough to fit our much smaller hands.

 

That's so helpful thank you very much. And I agree with you Fidgetsmum, I have small hands too

 

Fidgetsmum, not only ladies have small hands. I have excema on my hands so have to wear gloves at all times when gardening. I`m using ladies gloves in a fetching shade of purple at present.:yess:

My mate works in a local diary, they are supplied with cotton gloves with rubber dimples on the palms and fingers, very comfortable and free!

But have seen similar for sale in some garden centre as well!

BUT!! gloves are for girls said the young lady in one of the Get up and grow programmes!

Oih!!!!!!!

 

Not many journalists are supplied with those :-)

I use the same type as Roders has put up in his post:yess:

 

One of us had to make a comment Jack.:D:D
