The 2024 Gardening Year: A Glove for Every Season

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that allows people to reconnect with nature and create a beautiful and relaxing outdoor space right on their doorstep. Whether an experienced gardener or just starting out, one essential tool that is often overlooked is a good quality pair of gardening gloves. Choosing the right gloves for each season can make a significant difference in the level of comfort, protection, and overall enjoyment of tasks. Town & Country has selected its top picks for each season so that gardeners can be well-prepared for the year ahead.

Spring planting: Flexible, delicate gloves

Spring marks the beginning of a new growing and planting season, and for handling young seedlings and fragile plants, a pair of delicate touch gloves is essential. The Master Gardener Lite Gloves are soft, lightweight, and comfortable with a snug knitted wrist. They offer excellent fit, grip, and flexibility, making them ideal for filling garden beds, pots, and borders with new bulbs, ready to infuse landscapes with pretty, vibrant colours.

Summer pruning: Leather gauntlet gloves

As the weather gets warmer and your garden starts to flourish, pruning becomes an important job to keep plants healthy. To protect hands from thorns and sharp branches, use a thick pair of leather gauntlet gloves with long cuffs. These Premium Leather Gauntlet Gloves are made from ultra-soft leather and suede, which makes them strong enough to withstand any challenge, yet supple enough to provide unrivalled comfort. The leather palm and fingers provide complete protection from thorns, making them perfect for tasks like pruning rose bushes.

Autumn harvesting: Nitrile-coated gloves

When it comes to harvesting fruits and vegetables in the autumn, it's important to have the right tools to get the job done safely and efficiently. Handling sticky or wet produce can become messy, but that's where a pair of nitrile-coated gloves come to the rescue!

If you're working in cold weather, you may want to consider a pair of Thermalmax Gloves which provide a good grip even in damp conditions and protect hands from all the elements. The thermal soft lining fits snugly around your hands, keeping them warm and cosy, while the nitrile coating offers extra grip on the palms and fingers. Whether picking apples or harvesting root vegetables, the flexibility of these gloves makes them a great choice for any autumnal task.

Winter clean-up: Thermal gloves

Winter can be challenging due to the cold temperatures and damp conditions. To tackle winter clean-up tasks like debris removal and pruning, it’s crucial to have a pair of thermal gloves to protect hands from the cold weather. The Mastergrip Thermolite Gloves are an excellent choice for such tasks. They offer a secure grip and keep hands protected and comfortable with their specially designed thermal lining and groundbreaking vacuum technology.

During wet weather, the Mastergrip Waterproof Gloves are the best choice for keeping hands completely dry whilst working outdoors. The gloves are 100% waterproof and made from thick nylon and a double coating of latex to provide unparalleled grip and strength no matter the weather - perfect for the unpredictable UK winter weather conditions.
