What can a woman wear when she is working around thorny plants? I need to clean out the center of some sago palms that have filled with pine needles. The "leaves" have spikes that prick the heck out of my legs. Same thing with my bougainvilleas, they are really overgrown. I am using rose gloves made out of leather but the thorns go right through them. Any suggestions as what apparel would be best?
