15 Gardening Gloves to Make Your Yard Work That Much Easier
Gardening gloves are a must-have for every backyard chore, whether you're killing weeds, planting seedlings in your vegetable garden, installing a flowering vine, or cutting perennial herbs. In fact, we'd even go so far as to say they're one of the most necessary garden tools out there. They protect your hands from cuts and scrapes, and prevent blisters while you're digging or raking (especially if you're tackling major landscaping ideas). Depending on what task you're tackling in the garden, you may even need a few different pairs. That's why we've rounded up an assortment of the best gardening gloves right here.
There are so many cute colors and designs, you'll probably need more than one pair. For example, nitrile-tipped fingers and palms are ideal if you're planting seeds or weeding, as they offer manual dexterity while keeping your fingers dry (yes, they're even helpful for starting seeds indoors). If you're trimming hedges or training your rose bushes up a trellis, you need gloves with leather gauntlets, which are long sleeves that extend up your arms and protect you from scratches. If you do a lot of heavy gardening, real leather gloves tend to stand up to a lot of wear and tear, lasting for more than one season. Check out these fun, functional gardening gloves, and pay attention to sizing charts to ensure a good fit. (Don't forget a great pair of gardening shoes, too!)
