- The present invention relates generally to gloves and, in particular, to a garden glove adapted for digging, scooping and/or carrying dirt.
- Gloves are typically worn by gardeners to protect their hands while working in the garden or during container gardening. Often gardeners will need to dig holes, trenches or the like in the ground or container and scoop or otherwise move dirt, mulch or the like. Gardeners typically use hand tools such as trowels, transplanters, cultivators and the like to perform such tasks. A disadvantage of such an approach, however, is that the gloves may make it difficult to hold and manipulate the tool. In addition, the tools must be carried to and from the garden and be accessible. This may be particularly tedious as a gardener moves around the garden.
- A need exists for a glove that may be used as a garden glove and a tool for digging, scooping and/or carrying dirt, mulch and the like during gardening or container gardening.
