Gardening Crewneck Sweatshirt for Gardeners - Here for the Dirt and the Quiet

Here for the dirt and the quiet. Some people garden for the tomatoes; plenty of us garden because an hour on our knees in the beds is the calmest hour of the week. This crewneck is for that second kind of gardener. Across the top sit three simple line drawings, a hand trowel, a seed packet and a curled young sprout, resting on a thin rule like the edge of a raised bed, and the line below is set in an easygoing italic serif in deep sage.

It is a natural pick for vegetable growers, cut-flower people, community-garden regulars, houseplant collectors who have graduated to the backyard, and the retired neighbor who knows every frost date by heart. Because it is a sweatshirt, it also lands well in the off-season: a winter birthday, a holiday present for the gardener who already owns every tool, Mother's Day or Father's Day, or a thank-you for someone who shared seedlings last spring. Earthy two-tone artwork in sage and toffee, with a dark-ink version for lighter sweatshirts and a light-ink version for darker ones. The design is printed on the front center, and the sweatshirt comes in S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL.
