This year marks Womanswork's 25th year in business. We thought, what better time than now to say thanks to our garden glove fans with a little give away contest? 

The Womanswork Story.


But first some background on us. Womanswork was started in Maine in 1985 because there were no good work gloves designed to fit women's hands. A little black and white (and sepia) catalog was sent to a growing list of women who needed a good work and garden glove. The logo "Strong Women Building A Gentle World" was written and became the rallying cry stamped on the back of each pair of gloves. 

What's different about Womanswork gloves is that they are all designed by women, so the fit, the features (such as machine washability), and the designs and colors are all geared to what women like.

I'm the owner of Womanswork and I like to stay in touch with our customers through email, phone calls, face-to-face at trade shows, and now Facebook and this blog. The feedback we get helps us make our garden gloves and other products better all the time.  

Thanks for 25 Years!


The other day we were putting together little packages of gourmet chocolate hearts in a Womanswork mug and sending them to a handful of our favorite wholesale clients, mostly garden center owners and managers. It occurred to us that, while we can't possibly say "thanks" to all of our customers in this way, maybe we could say 'thank you for 25 years' to our wider audience of fans in a different way.  So that's what we'll do. Stay tuned for garden glove contest details.
