Hats - We are all aware of the importance of protecting ourselves from too much sun, garden hats a must for spending hours working in and enjoying in your garden. Improvements in fabrics have offered extra protection in many latest styles. Look for new garden and sun hats with insect repellant bonded to the fabric— for the dual purpose of keeping both the sun and the bugs off! The important features to look for are breathable material, to let moisture escape and a wide enough brim to shade the eyes and face.

Garden Gloves - The goal with gardening gloves is that they protect your hands without compromising dexterity or sense of touch. Gardening gloves should be tough, durable and supple. The appropriate balance between protection and flexibility will depend somewhat on the task in hand. A serious gardener would do well to have more than one pair for different occasions. Leather gloves are good for digging but are not very thorn proof, unless they are lined, or supple. Leather gloves made from cowhide or pigskin are the toughest. Rubber gloves are the best choice if you are dealing with a lot of thorny plants and are also very practical in muddy conditions. Cloth gloves afford less protection but are very light and flexible and are a good choice for medium to light weeding.
