FOXGLOVES are the perfect
garden gloves. As a landscape architect and professional horticulturist I had tried every
garden glove on the market, but never found one that fit well and could be worn all day.
Most were so bulky and clumsy that I preferred not to wear any gardening gloves, but that
really took its toll on my hands.
One day I tried a pair of women's dress gloves from the 1950's and they were nearly
perfect as garden gloves. They fit snugly and protected my hands. But they weren't meant
for the job and wore out quickly. I combed thrift shops and flea markets to buy
replacements.
Then it occurred to me that modern fabrics could make my dream a reality. Based on the
design of the fifties glove, but using SUPPLEX nylon for durability and LYCRA spandex for
four-way stretch, the resulting garden gloves wore better than I ever imagined. I made a
few pairs and had them tested by a group of friends and professional gardeners. They raved
over these gardening gloves! The response was so positive that I decided to make them
available to everyone. I know you will enjoy FOXGLOVES garden gloves as much as I do. Harriet Z.
