What better workplace could there be than a garden? Tending plants, surrounded by blooms, birds and sunshine, seems more like play than work. And within just a few weeks, your efforts bring additional rewards in the form of a beautiful, lush landscape and delicious food for your table.

The cost of a day spent working outdoors can be rough hands, sunburn and an occasional insect sting. But by taking just a few minutes to protect yourself before and after you go outside, your skin and hair can look as vibrant and healthy as your well-tended plants.
