The gardening season is upon us, and nothing will ruin a manicure quicker than digging in the dirt. Keep those pretty fingers protected with an adorable pair of gardening gloves. Not only are they practical because they keep hands safe from plants, splinters, and other gardening pests, but today’s styles are more stylish and cuter than ever too. Here are five gardening gloves you’ll love. —Jennifer Cox

Hillhead House

Available in three adorable patterns (although we love the bumblebees), these gardening gloves from Hillhead House ($30) will keep the dirt at bay while you work. Each pair of gloves is finished with an antique brass wren stud and has a cotton canvas exterior and soft, comfortable polyester interior. One size fits all.

Ethel

The Ethel Women’s Gardening Gloves ($27, available at Rona) features a retro cool fabric design from the 1930s. Not only will they protect your hands from cuts and scrapes, but they will keep them cool thanks to the form fitting TrekDry material. They are made of touchscreen-capable synthetic leather in a caramel colour on the palm and fingertips, and they also have extended elastic cuffs providing a secure fit.

Watson Gloves

The Watson Gloves’ Women’s Homegrown You Grow Girl Work Gloves ($27, available at L’Equipeur) are designed with a women’s specific fit. They have water-resistant goatskin palm patches along with hooded fingertips, knuckle bars, and pulse protectors. The snug-fitting shirred elastic wrists help to keep dirt and debris from getting inside. And, as a plus, these gardening gloves honour the environment with designs made using recycled PET bottles.
