Have a gardener on your shopping list?
Keep your feet warm and dry this winter with the ideal garden clog. Wear them in the rain. Clean them with a hose. Easy to slip on and off. Available in different styles and a wide variety of colors. Try the polka dots: reminiscent of Christmas lights! Available from Amazon.
Also available as a boot. Again, from Amazon.
The best thing you can do during rainstorms or when soils are wet may be to stay out of the garden! But after the rain, a careful check of your garden is in order, especially after heavy rains or storms that last for 2 to 3 days or longer. Be prepared to work in your wet garden with garden clogs, or give them as a gift!
