Always wear protective clothing and gear when gardening. This means a pair of jeans, a long sleeved shirt, gloves and some safety goggles. Remember to stay adequately hydrated when outside gardening, especially if it is a hot day. Bring out some bottled water to drink while you are gardening. Remember to always use care when using gardening tools, as they could potentially cause injury from cutting or stabbing yourself.
Remember to always safely handle any fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide that you use in your garden. Always wash your hands after using it and keep it away from children and pets. Consuming any of these toxic products could result in poisoning.
Always let someone know that you will be out in the back gardening. Its all to easy to overwork yourself and suffer from a heat stroke or suffer an unrelated health condition that causes you to be immobilized.
By keeping yourself safe, gardening can be a fun outdoor activity.
