Adam Kirtland offers some savvy suggestions
That honest-to-god adage of ‘ set the garden to bed for winter ’ does n’t mean we ca n’t still get out and delight some horticulture during the colder month of the year . While the neighbour ’ curtains may be twitching at the thought of me outside in the wind , rain , and snow – I endeavor to get out and do some gardening all yr round , because it feel so incredibly good!But , to do that I ’ve got to be kitted out with suitable apparel to keep the cold at bay and the moisture .. out ! Here are some wintertime vesture staple to help you get out and about whatever - the - weather .
Warm , comfy , flexible wellington thrill
The first port wine of call when it comes to serious horticulture in wintertime has to be a solid pair of full - duration boots and the Buckingham Neoprene Wellington Boots from Town and Country are on the dot that . Quite often a kick of this distance can be tough and uncomfortable , but these are equipped with a neoprene leg section that is not only leisurely on your leg but also adds extra warmth , which is much needed ! That peg portion is also very tensile which think of that bending down or getting near the ground is easy to do , something you would n’t normally get with a standard wellington boot .

The ultimate waterproof trouser
Until this yr I ’d struggled to detect trousers that were difficult eating away , warm yet flexible enough to really get flummox into those wintertime job but with the 3 - Season Gardening Trousers from Genus , that problem was solved .

The nurseryman ’s smock
unremarkably , you ’ll bump me outside in winter with a thick jumper on but usually I ’ll get back indoors cake in soil , thankfully the Sarah Raven Gardener ’s Smock has come to the rescue here .
