"Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, waterbugs, tadpoles, frogs & turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, hickory nuts, trees to climb, animals to pet, hayfields, pine cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets – and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education." -Luther Burbank 1849 - 1926

Garden Gloves

Garden Gloves

Garden gloves have been around for decades, if not longer. They protect hands from cuts, bruises, poisons, scratches, as well as callouses and and blisters. Good garden gloves are the ones that fit comfortably, are light weight, and have ventilation. Many new materials are being used to add grip, vents for ventilation, and even pockets for keys, etc. Glove shopping can be part of the adventure of gardening!

Here are a couple brands of garden gloves worth looking for. They offer innovative upgrades to basic gardening function.

Garden Works

Garden Works introduces leather gloves with stretchable nylon back that protects hands while providing ventilation and comfort. The contoured fit makes gardening easier, chores more stable, and arrangement gathering easier.

West County Gardener

Gloves with the benefits of high-tech athletic function were created by West Country Gloves. Their gloves offer flexible, snug-fitting gardening pleasure. The Waterproof Glove is made with the same waterproof-breathable fabric and warm fleece living as high-end skiwear. These innovative designs keep hands dry, not clammy. The unique synthetic leather won't stiffen or shrink. They offer excellent fit, especially for women.

ENJOY

Gloves help us protect our hands and fingernails for later enjoyment... :-)

LEARN

Gloves that are easy to slip on and off let us learn from touch -- one of our strongest intellectual tools.

MAKE A CHOICE

Garden and work gloves are evolving and give us many new choices. It's helpful to visit a hardware store or garden center to try on some of the innovative new gloves to see how they might make your work easier and your gardening time more joyful.

MAKE A CHANGE

What WILL you do today to move toward your goal? Even one small action today makes a difference. And you can add a little tomorrow and the next day... Together we will restore our environment in our community and around the world.
