It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

Despite all the modern technology available today, talking directly with people about the need for cancer services and finding better cancer treatments is one of the most effective ways to inspire people to become a regular donor.
Cancer Society receives no Government funding for its services so relies entirely on the generosity of the community to provide crucial help to cancer patients and families.
For more details of the areas our fundraisers are visiting and why Cancer Society is fundraising in this way click here. The fundraisers are carrying IPads so that people can securely sign up for an ongoing donation – for security reasons they aren’t able to accept cash donations.
