Instructions

1. Buy garden gloves early in the season or late in the season for the next year. While most stores stock up on garden tools including garden gloves in the spring, choices may be limited once the garden season is in full swing. End of the garden season sales could save money on the garden gloves

2. Spend extra money for better quality gloves. The higher cost is justified. The garden gloves fit better, last longer and will withstand a lot of gardening time. It's worth the extra dollars to get the right pair of garden gloves.

3. Compare garden glove prices online with those in the stores. Search with a favorite search engine for garden gloves to see if there is a pair that meets your standards.

4. Make a list of the types and size of gardening gloves you need and take it with you when you shop at local greenhouses, home and garden stores and department stores for the gloves. Keep in mind that you'll need several types of gloves for specific gardening jobs.

5. Find the right sized garden gloves. Try on the garden gloves. Make sure there is flexibility but that the garden gloves are not too loose. Gardening can be an intense activity and flexibility and the right fit can be the difference between ho-hum gloves and a great pair of garden gloves.

6. Purchase garden gloves for every gardener in the household. Make sure you buy extra gloves for everyone including the spouse and the kids. This prevents the kids and spouse from trying to use your garden gloves. If everyone has his or her own gloves, you'll always have yours to wear.
