Good fitting gloves

[grey12]

Hi

Need your help MIL is a keen gardener and it looks to me that she needs some nice new gloves. Her birthday is coming soon.

She has some that are strong but big and not great for a lot of tasks.

Any suggestions?

These are the ones she has

Garden gloves,Special Price, pack of 4 pairs, Showa Floreo 370 with tough nitrile coating - PPE for your hands. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FM6HLH4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_PV7TDNBZ8Q0SGNEVD744?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

THE BEST GLOVES IN THE WORLD!!
And they are machine washable...fine enough for working with seedlings.. tough enough for everything else..

I always buy Briers, widely available in Garden Centres and on line. There are different types, some for pruning, some for weeding and seed planting. Not expensive so you could get a couple of types.

Thank you so much for the ideas

She usually doesn't wear gloves for most of the things, just the big jobs.

However we recently got a cat and it likes to poop in the pots in the garden....... (her garden is unconventional, pebbles with a little bit of pockets of soil and pots by the fence) so she now she doesn't want to have the surprise of touching something weird

So she doesn’t need tough gloves, just something that won’t be shredded by ordinary activities, and is waterproof. Cat poo on cloth or leather isn’t great. In that situation I’d give marigolds a go.

I had a pair of the Showa ones, really good but I lost one somehow so I'm definitely going to get some more.
I do also use Marigolds for tasks which are particularly damp or delicate but they're not as nice to wear.
