If there's one thing we can never have too many of, it's gardening gloves. Wear and tear is inevitable when tending to plants and carrying out yard work, which is why it's important to have a new pair ready to upgrade to.

It's an essential gardening tool to have in your kit. You can find a surprisingly wide range of gardening gloves, including long sleeved gardening gloves (like these floral ones from Amazon) to protect your lower arms, and thorn-proof gloves for pruning particularly spikey plants. The type you choose really depends on what you need to get done, often meaning you need more than one pair to hand.
