Every pair of gloves we tried fell apart.

My son and I had started gardening together , proper gardening, the kind with thorns, brambles, and dirt under your nails. But every glove we bought either tore, slipped, or left our hands shredded after an hour with the roses.

So I made my own.

Full-grain leather. Thorn-proof. Built for people who actually use their gloves, not just hang them by the shed door.

My son named the brand NickyPicky. It stuck.

Four years later, 3,300 gardeners across the UK have rated SoilMates 4.6 stars, not because we asked, but because they meant it.

We're not building a glove company. We're building something for people who take their garden seriously, season after season.

Welcome to NickyPicky.
