Poll: What do you wear in the garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Check out Get Growing subscriber Clare Strange's genius hack for a gardening apron. It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
