10 of the best gardening aprons and garden tool belts
Keep your clothes clean and tools handy with a gardening apron.
There's no denying gardening can be a messy business. Whether you’re re-potting in the greenhouse or kneeling over flowerbeds, clothes can get soiled and damp pretty quickly. That's where gardening aprons come in, offering protection for your clothing and handy pockets for storing bits and bobs while you’re working.
If you’re looking for something more functional, there are shorter garden tool belts that tie around the waist as well as full aprons with bibs in floral prints and personalised designs. Below, we share a selection of gardening aprons and tool belts in varying styles to help you choose the most appropriate for you.
We’ve also sourced some of the best gardening shoes and best garden kneelers to help you get kitted out for all your outdoor jobs and there are some lovely garden trugs for your harvests and cut flowers too.
If you're looking for gardening tools for your belt, our reviews of the best secateurs and best trowels should help. If you're looking for something more focussed on garden DIY, consider our guide to the best hammers and the best electric screwdrivers.
