Starting out as a gardener, whether for work or for pleasure, can be a very exciting prospect. Many find it an incredibly rewarding activity, something that’s often creative, physically engaging and allows you to spend a lot of time outside.
To make the most out of your gardening journey, it’s important that you have the right equipment for the job. While tools are obviously crucial, something that’s perhaps not talked about enough is what kind of durable clothing you should be wearing. Read on for some basic tips on where to start with your search as a gardening beginner.
The first thing to think about is the kindof gardening that you’ll be doing. Often, the term is used to lump together a diverse range of different activities, from tree surgery to cutting the grass. The kind of clothing you need will obviously change depending on the kind of gardening you’re doing, with simple weeding jobs requiring quite a different approach to jobs that require the use of heavier equipment such as chainsaws.
In many cases, this is more than just about comfort. You’ll need to make sure that the clothing you’re using is able to keep you safe, whether that’s trousers that protect against chainsaw accidents or knee pads that save your knees.
It’s also important that you have a brief understanding of what actually makes a good set of durable gardening clothes.
When it comes to materials, manufacturers use a wide range of different options depending on what the item is going to be used for. You’ll find a lot of trousers made from heavier fabrics, such as canvas and denim, often with reinforced knees and hips to help prevent wear. As gardeners also often spend a lot of time kneeling down, you’ll likely see lots of trousers

Six on Saturday, Starting With an Untruth
It wasn’t actually a lie, but I was misleading myself as well as anyone who reads my blog, when I talked yesterday about how behind the clematis were. In reality, it seems to be mostly the C viticella and C integrifolia that are either slow or not showing at all, whereas C texensis like ‘Princess Diana’ and ‘Duchess of Albany’ are as floriferous as usual although not yet in bud, and the few Group 2 clematis are growing and flowering (or about to) as usual, like the striking Clematis ‘Kingfisher’ above.
