Garden attire is not an afterthought, it's a carefully considered choice.

Most seasoned gardeners are quite particular about what they step outdoors in, be it a favourite hat, jacket or easy-on boots. Comfort and practicality are essential, of course, but why should style be left at the back door? I spend too much time in the garden for my gardenwear to be just a collection of old and worn items of clothing.
