Gardening gloves are something that I  did not like to wear when gardening except for some of the time when pruning roses.  I like to feel the soil, the seeds, and the plants.  It just seemed that gloves were more in my way than helping.

When working for a landscaping company I found that gloves were a necessity.  I never knew what I might find in the soil – broken glass, dog poop, moose droppings (this was Alaska).  I would start the day with a large box of latex gloves but each pair may not last through one job and my hands couldn’t “breathe”.   It seemed like such a waste throwing away so many gloves everyday.

One day my boss gave me a pair of gloves to try out.  They were fantastic and I have them to this day.  FoxGloves are machine washable, come in a variety of colors, and make a great gift for a gardener (or for yourself).  For me, wearing FoxGloves is almost like I am not wearing gloves.  I have only tried the original style.    I also used FoxGloves when installing Christmas lights at the grounds of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah and they worked very well for that purpose. I would think that birdwatchers and photographers would also love these gloves.

When I opened my store Basil & Rose in Bountiful, Utah I began selling all styles of FoxGloves including their work gloves which do not get stiff when wet like many work gloves.

All of their gloves are machine washable on delicate.
