HAND PROTECTION

GARDENING gloves keep guard of the most important gardening tool of all—your hands. Switch up the gloves you’re wearing to provide grip, warmth, water resistance or extra tactility.

You can also get impressive specialist gloves, if you need particular protection. The Globus Glove BUDS range are designed especially with children in mind and provide all-round protection in designs kids will love.

KEEPING KIDS SAFE

AS an opportune way to get kids outside, gardening will engage them in imaginativ­e play and creativity and will have them breathing fresh air and learning about nature.

Safeguard them in the garden by keeping potentiall­y perilous tools stored away and label and lock up garden chemicals.

If there are hazards around, like water, don’t begin intensive jobs that might distract you, but give kids your undivided attention by enquiring after their gardening antics instead.

Start a joint project like painting wooden lolly sticks to use as plant labels. This is the perfect opportunit­y to explain why some plants are unsafe to eat and identify those that sting or have thorns while you label.

So, for a secure and satisfying time in the garden, get smart with what’s on the agenda for the day.

With the right approach, you’ll be gardening with glee and enjoy sharing the green spaces you’ve created for the people who appreciate it most.
