Product overview: Gloves for delicate gardening tasks

Whether it's transplanting fragile seedlings, pruning intricate foliage, or carefully weeding around little blooms, finding the perfect pair of gloves for delicate tasks is essential for every gardener. Town & Country has shared what factors should be considered when selecting gloves for these types of tasks and has a range of options that have been expertly designed with comfort, dexterity, and protection front of mind.

Master Gardener Lite Gloves

RRP: £5.99

When doing tasks where precision is crucial, it is important to maintain tactile sensitivity and fine motor control. Therefore, it’s best to choose a pair of gloves made with a thin and flexible material in the palm and fingers as this will allow you to feel and handle delicate plants, seeds, or tools with accuracy. For a lightweight option that doesn't compromise on fit or grip, Town & Country’s Master Gardener Lite gloves are an excellent choice. Featuring a snug knitted wrist, these gloves offer outstanding fit, grip, and flexibility. Their lightweight structure ensures maximum comfort during prolonged use, while still providing the necessary protection for hands.

Weedmaster Bamboo Gloves

RRP: £4.99

Breathability is another key consideration when picking a pair of gloves for intricate tasks. Lightweight and breathable materials such as bamboo allow for airflow to prevent hands from becoming sweaty, slippy and uncomfortable. These Weedmaster Bamboo Gloves from Town & Country, for example, are environmentally conscious and naturally hypoallergenic, offering a luxurious feel that is as soft as brushed cotton. With a latex coating, these gloves provide both comfort for light work and protection, making them a great option for delicate tasks.

NEW Stretch-Fit Gauntlet Gloves

RRP: £14.99

While performing fragile tasks, your gloves should still offer adequate protection against spikey, sharp objects, and abrasive surfaces. Look for gloves with reinforced fingertips or palms made from durable materials like synthetic leather or silicone for added protection without sacrificing dexterity. Town & Country’s NEW Stretch-Fit Gauntlet Gloves feature long cuffs for enhanced coverage of hands and forearms and are made from breathable Spandex, offering more comfort and flexibility for various gardening tasks than other protective styles such as leather gauntlets. With their superior protection, they are great all-rounders for general pruning and gardening and are particularly useful for pricklier shrubs.

Mastergrip PRO

RRP: £9.99

A strong grip is crucial for precise handling during tasks such as transplanting and pruning. Gloves with textured or grippy surfaces on the palm and fingers improve grip and control, reducing the risk of slipping and damage to plants or tools. Town & Country recommends its Mastergrip PRO gloves which offer more grip than standard gloves thanks to micro-vacuums forming between the glove and object being held to offer better grip in all conditions. They are also ideal for heavier duty landscaping or wet tasks, as their latex coating prevents liquid from penetrating and effecting grip.
