Why is it so hard to find women’s gardening gloves which actually fit?

This is the question which first sowed the seed for Feverfew back in early 2020 when founder Rachel had her ‘a-ha!’ moment. Lockdowns and food scarcity made her realise just how fragile modern food systems are, and in turn, how reliant she was on faceless, far-away farms for her everyday meals.

So she dove headfirst into sowing, growing, reaping and eating, falling deeper in love with the magic of nature. On the coattails of every failure: a lesson; in the hands of every harvest: delicious flavour and unparalleled freshness. Who wouldn’t want this? Who couldn’t love it?

Rachel found an incredible community of growers and gardeners both online and in real-life, but for every green-fingered friend she crossed paths with, the same frustrations appeared.

“Why can’t I find women’s gardening gloves which look good and fit properly? Why are the fingers always baggy? And why are so many pairs covered in ditsy bees..?”

The UK was sorely missing a gardenwear brand for women, by women, and Rachel decided she’d be the first to fill the gap. Her mission was clear: to create women’s gardenwear without compromising on design, functionality or fit - to make the kinds of gloves, hats, sweatshirts and beyond that any grower would be proud to wear.

After months and months of research, endless late nights and lots of soul-searching, Feverfew Garden Co. was born.

Fast foward to now, we’re only a few years into our journey with so much more to learn and share. Thank you for being here - consider this your official welcome into the Feverfew Garden Club.
