Gardening glove from Towa makes RHS Product of The Year 2018 finals
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

New to the UK gardening market for 2018, the Luminus gardening glove from Japanese brand Towa has made the final of the prestigious RHS Chelsea Garden Product of the Year 2018.

Available in three attractive floral designs - Rose, Olive and Herb - the Luminus glove combines aesthetic appeal, comfort and hand protection whilst retaining the dexterity and sensitivity of touch required for delicate gardening tasks. The palm is coated using Towa's patented MicroFinish technology which gives up to 100% more grip than standard gloves and brings the added benefit of less effort being required for handling tasks, something that older gardeners especially may appreciate.

 

 

Towa gloves are available exclusively in the UK and Ireland from Rodo Ltd. Gary Bent, Marketing Manager at Rodo, commented, "There's no other glove quite like Luminus in the gardening market. Feedback from users tells us that they love not just the designs, but also how comfortable they feel to wear and work with. And the RRP of just £7.99 makes them very accessible to occasional and serious gardeners alike."

 



Stocking enquiries from current and new customers are welcome on 0161 371 6400 or sales@rodo.co.uk

 

Launched in 2011, the RHS Chelsea Garden Product of the Year competition recognises the best new garden products, with entries being judged on a number of criteria including innovation, visual appeal, functionality, quality, value for money and environmental sustainability. Judging for the 2018 winner will take place on Sunday 20 May in the RHS Suite at Chelsea.
