Working in your garden without gardening gloves is not a good idea. You can tear up your hands and your spouse will not be impressed with having to remove rose thorns from your thumbs and fingers.

A gardener needs a good pair of gardening gloves in their toolkit. If you’re new to gardening there are a few things you should know about what type of gloves you need. Here are a few tips.

Your leather gardening gloves should be of good quality so that whatever job you set out to do, the task can be completed with your hands being fully protected. If you get a couple of pairs of the cloth backed leather gloves for general-purpose gardening your hands will be comfortable and cool while they work.

When you prune your roses you stand a chance of tearing up your arms from the thorns of the rose bushes. A good pair of leather gloves with gauntlets will protect your arms from those sharp thorns.

Pesticides are harmful and can absorb through your skin, so make sure that you use a pair of neoprene gloves to keep you healthy, while you’re treating your garden for insects and diseases.

Get yourself a pair of rubber gloves with cotton lining for those times when you’re working in the mud after a good rain or after you’ve watered your garden.

In the early spring its cold out, so you need to protect your hands from the cold while planting your seedlings, which can be pretty tender and delicate. Fingerless gloves work well for this type of task.

Blisters, mud, dirt, thorns, and chemicals are only a few of the things that you need to protect your hands from while gardening. Comfortable fitting gloves are always an important part of your gardening glove selection. Make sure the fingers aren’t too long. They’ll bend over and make it difficult to grab weeds or most any type of work you try to do. If your gloves are too tight then you can’t move your fingers well enough to perform your gardening tasks.
