If gardening is the new rock’n’roll, garden toolbelts are must be the new body-piercings
My friend Tissy and I had a great day out at the Malvern Spring Garden show last week & amazingly the rain held off for us.
We both love gardening and knew that there would be plenty of opportunity to see lovely planting ideas with the show gardens and chance to spend a day looking at loads of garden related things to buy. Since our last visit to a garden show together (it’s an annual treat for us ladies and we always take a day off work for it) we had both built up a small shopping list of gardening things we wanted as there are so many retailers selling their wares it is easy to get just what one wants at a reduced price.
Tissy was in the market for good quality secateurs and a garden tool belt. I’d showed her the belt Bealers had bought for my birthday and how great it is for just having everything to hand at all times in the garden (secateurs, scissors, twine, marker pen & labels, gloves). At first it felt a bit geeky wearing it but very soon I loved the fact that with one easy move I could hang everything up on the coat rack.
We found a super company selling really funky big neoprene garden tool belts/aprons. The people who run the company Garden Tribe were really helpful in pointing out that if you put your trowel handle pointing at an angle then it won’t poke you in the ribs as you crouch down. I told them I’d put a link to their site from mine so do add one of these to your birthday wish-list if you like gardening as much as we do.
Doesn’t she look glamourous yet practical…(actually the one she bought was bright pink as we figured it was prettier and easier to spot if left lying around in the garden).
