Check out our slide show if you would like to see details of the gardening clothing worn by Debbie Stavish-Gould in our May 13, 2006 Home Front story on garden garb with style. These clothes looks crisp; they're comfortable, and they protect you while you do your gardening chores.

Tilley Mesh Hat -- The crown contains hidden pocket perfect for holding identification and credit cardsduring a trip to the nursery center. Fabric keeps the head cool, and the wide brim shades eyes and face. Provides a 50+ UPS sun block protection ultraviolet protection factor. $76. For locations, go to www.tilley.com or call 1-800-363- 8737.

Cotton shirt -- Pictured is a brand- new insect-repellent shirt by MUMZ. About $49. Fabric provides a 30+ UPF. For information, visit www.mumzgarden.com. Gardening apron also from MUMZ, $20. In a pinch, pick up a canvas nail apron from a hardware store or check out www.gardenscapetools.com.
Gloves -- Foxgloves are form-fitting gloves made of nylon and spandex. Available in vivid colors, they go straight into the washing machine after use. Check high-end garden stores locally or go to www.foxglovesinc.com; $25 to $30.
Pants -- Versatile, long-wearing pants are essential, so Stavish-Gould buys REI Sahara convertible pants, shown in gravel. Also available in carbon. Made of sturdy fabric, they come with lots of pockets, and legs can be zipped off, transforming them into shorts. $37.99 at www.rei.com, or check local outlets.
Boots -- Aigle Gardens boots are luxurious, waterproof and comfortable. Rugged soles grip almost any surface and elastic sides provide secure fit. Made in France out of natural rubber and lined with cotton. Also in green; $99 at www.aigleboots.com or call 1-877-488-7503
