    Take Safety Measures During Garden Working

    1. Buy sturdy gardening gloves. It is important to protect your hand from cuts, scrapes, and splinters while gardening. Shop for thick, durable gloves that will stand up against thorns and sharp twigs. Be sure that the gloves fit well and are not too bulky.

    2. Get knee pads for long periods of gardening. Spending prolonged periods of time kneeling in the soil can damage knees your knees over time. Buy foam knee pads to wear while you garden so that you can stay comfortable. You can also purchase 1 long foam pad to kneel on top of, protecting your knees the same way.

    3. Wear a gardening hat while working in the sun. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause sensitive areas like your scalp, face, and neck to burn. If you garden outside during the day, invest in a hat that will protect your head and neck from UV rays. The hat should be made from a breathable material like cotton to prevent overheating or sweating.
    Be sure to apply sunscreen to other parts of your body and wear protective clothing (such as light, long-sleeved shirts) to ensure that you are totally protected.
