Perfect Pairings: The right gardening gloves for every spring task

With gardens across the country bursting back into life, spring marks the start of the busiest season for planting, pruning, and weeding. Each task places different demands on the hands, making the right glove an essential tool, not just an accessory.

Town & Country, experts in garden gear for over 60 years, offer one of the UK’s most comprehensive glove collections. From delicate work to heavy-duty protection, the brand’s gloves are designed with purpose, with categories covering pruning, protection, all-purpose, weeding, waterproof and kids’ glove options. Here’s a breakdown of the best options for each core springtime job.

Pruning: built for protection and precision

Pruning is a high-risk task for the hands, involving sharp tools, repetitive movements, and often thorny plants. The  Comfort Fit glove is designed with reinforced palms, extra finger protection, and a breathable spandex back to reduce fatigue and enhance grip, ideal for tackling roses and other prickly shrubs.

For even tougher conditions, Premium Leather gloves deliver exceptional protection. Crafted from ultra-soft yet durable leather, these gloves are thorn-resistant and shaped for comfort with an elasticated wrist and ergonomic thumb design. A standout option for more intense pruning sessions.

Planting: Flexible all-purpose

Planting involves exposure to soil, splinters, and sometimes hidden irritants, making a flexible, protective glove essential. The Master Gardener glove is a reliable multi-tasker, suited to filling borders, planting containers, and general light-duty tasks.

Combining practicality with style, the Dragonfly Lux-Fit glove features padded palms, reinforced fingertips, and faux leather for comfort and durability. A contemporary dragonfly design paired with smart functionality. A contemporary, charming dragonfly design paired with smart functionality.

The Stretch-Fit Gauntlet is perfectly designed for tasks that involve thorny shrubs and bushes, thanks to its extra long sleeve that provide enhanced protection when maintaining gardens. Microfibre leather & breathable spandex combine to allow full dexterity of movement, with additional protection provided for the knuckles, fingers, thumb and extended lower arm.

 Weeding: Soft touch with strong grip

Weeding demands dexterity, endurance, and protection from soil-borne irritants. The Weedmaster Bamboo Gloves are a standout choice. Made from natural bamboo fibres, they offer a super-soft, breathable fit while the latex coating adds grip and durability. Naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, they’re ideal for prolonged weeding sessions.
