Gardening Clothes for Real Gardeners

Designed By Gardeners

Genus is the world’s only brand of high-performance, technical clothing specially designed by gardeners for gardeners. Based in the UK.

Sustainability Built In

Customers tell us that our trousers are lasting them through several years of intensive gardening work.

Performance Fabrics

Shower-resistant or totally waterproof, our fabrics have properties to wick sweat away, be lightweight and stretch, fast-drying, or even thorn-resistant.

What our customers say

They have revolutionised winter gardening for me. They are snug, really comfy for those awkward positions you get into when gardening, great for the knees with the built in pads and keep you dry. And am really enjoying them.

Women's Waterproof Gardening Trousers - Midnight
Bunny Guinness

They are a godsend to all keen lady gardeners. Real gardeners have to endure all weathers because a lot of work takes place in the dark chilly months. Thank you Genus - wonderfully practical trousers that I look forward to wearing for many a year!!

Women's Warm and Dry Gardening Trousers
Val Bourne

These trousers are very comfortable for gardening, they're true to size and have lots of useful pockets. I especially like the pocket for secateurs.

What to do with apples

Our orchard has had an underwhelming year - cherries non-existent, plums, so-so, and apples patchy.  ‘Beauty of Bath’, a pillar box red apple from the 1860’s bucked the trend as...

Surprise!

When you’ve been gardening for several decades the ebb and flow of the seasons come as second nature.  Snowdrops in winter, apple blossom in spring, dahlias in summer.  Simple. So...

Sue and the Story of Genus Gardenwear

We're totally passionate about gardening. We are an English company, based in the beautiful Cotswold countryside.
