GeoWear

GeoWear specialises in gardening clothes that have been specifically designed for the horticultural sector, whether you're an amateur or professional gardener. With workwear and clothes for just about every other trade, sports and pastime, gardeners have been overlooked, until now. There is no doubting that it is a rigorous activity and needs clothes that stand up to the test. Gardeners work in extreme weather conditions and it makes sense to wear clothes that offer outstanding freedom of movement as well as protection from the elements. Wearing cast-offs may well be comfortable but they are not that practical and there are always safety issues to consider.

LEADING BRANDS

Ernest George, award winning garden designer and founder of GeoWear, who lives and works in the Scottish Highlands, has addressed this gap in the market, working with leading brands to offer a comprehensive and exclusive selection of handpicked garden workwear for men and women.
