It might be spring, but the clouds are still winning their battle with the sun for top spot in the UK. So while it’s peak gardening season, cajoling yourself to get outside is not the most appealing of tasks.

Just like any dreaded task (think: hoovering, laundry, or taking the bins out), bringing a new tool or accessory into the mix could be just what you need to have you Julie Andrews-style leaping around your garden.

Whether you’re undergoing a complete garden makeover, or simply sprucing it up with some fresh shoots, what you use (and wear) can make the difference between a hard days’ work and cosying up inside.

So if you need a little push to get outside before the weather perks up, here’s everything you need for gardening inspo this (so far un-)sunny season.

Hunter Unisex Downpour Short Wellington Boot

If your feet are going to get muddy and wet, they might as well do so in style.

Burgon & Ball Dig The Glove Gardening Gloves

You're not the only one who's the perfect combo of soft and tough (flirting!). These gloves can withstand some rough climates, but not at the sacrifice of being able to move your fingers. Phew. We're also rather partial to this gingham set, and this customisable pair.

Birkenstock Super Birki 2.0

Forget green fingers, what about green toes?! These slip on clogs are great for any occasion, but especially to nip out for a quick weeding sesh.

Emma Bridgewater Vegetable Garden Tomatoes Medium Oval Platter

What better motivation to get planting than a beautiful platter to serve your wares on (or just nip down to M&S...).

Neil's Yard Remedies Garden Mint & Bergamot Hand Cream

Sometimes the whiff of a garden is enough to tempt you outside. Oh, and your cracked hands will need it after.

Suvila Bird Feeder House

There's nothing like wildlife in your garden to put a spring in your step; these adorable pastel feeders will attract birds year-round.

Cox & Cox Copper Trowel

This copper trowel doesn't just look shiny and pretty. It's also naturally antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal, meaning it's good for your soil, too.

Burford Garden Co. Vega Hand Fork

The same goes for this fork. Fun fact: copper also rusts much more slowly than other metals, so you'll reap the benefits of those shiny prongs for longer!

Matias Bee & Insect Hotel WoodStone

It's no secret the bee population is declining (don't use pesticides, folk!). If you want to welcome them into your garden, for an easy way to boost biodiversity, this hotel will attract all sorts of short-legged and winged visitors.

Burgon & Ball Flora brite Pink Bypass Secateurs

We get it, the idea of sore wrists is enough to keep us inside for the foreseeable, too. But a fresh (hot pink!) pair of secateurs is enough to keep that at bay.

Burgon & Ball Poppy Knee Pads

They might not be stylish, but they will protect your knees from all that kneeling. They'd also make a great baby sling for any friendly rabbits you come across hiding among your shrubbery.
