What Makes This Shirt Special
What Makes This Shirt Special
🌱 Garden-Worthy Comfort: Our Gildan Softstyle 64000 shirts are made with 100% ring-spun cotton (4.5 oz), creating a noticeably softer feel than standard cotton tees. Like your favorite well-tended soil, these shirts maintain their quality through countless seasons of wear.
🌿 True-to-Nature Fit: These unisex tees feature a modern cut that flatters all gardeners. They run true to size for most, though like planning a garden bed, we recommend sizing up if you prefer more room to grow. [View Size Chart Above]
🌻 Vibrant, Lasting Design: We use water-based, non-toxic inks that become part of the fabric rather than sitting on top. Unlike cheap iron-on transfers, our designs won't crack, peel, or fade even after countless wash cycles – just like heirloom varieties that return year after year.
🌎 Growing Good: Every shirt plants one mangrove tree in Kenya through our partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects. These environmental powerhouses sequester four times more carbon than rainforest trees, creating a hundred-year impact from your purchase today.

Shirt looks and feels SUPER!

Fits right for the size I picked, love the creativity!

What a perfect Tshirt for my husband. He diligently feeds the birds and the squirrels invade it all the time. He has gotten so many comments on it already. Everybody loves it.

My friend loves her “pie” shirt.

I love this shirt! The material is soft and the design is amazing!

I bought this shirt a a present for my twin. It recognizes that not only is she a queen at her home but also in the garden. It’s perfect!

I saw this one and it had James' name all over it! He got a good laugh over it when I gave it to him. I know that he will wear it proudly. He really does have a lot of plants!

Love my t-shirt.
Also, customer service response was very quick.
Will order again….

Great shirt. Gave to mom as a gift 🎁 and she loves it. Will be ordering again soon☀️

The unisex sizing is slightly roomy, which I like. The print is also high quality!

I have bought 6 shirts so far (3 orders total). And the reason I keep coming back is the high quality Gildan soft shirts, and the unique designs offered. Plus the owners are a pure delight to order from and communicate with. Highly recommend you filling your closet if you love to show your love for all things gardening!! Every time I wear one, someone always ask where I got my shirt.

Purchased for my brother that literally has a squirrel that regularly robs his bird feeder!

Bird Feeder Empty is a very funny shirt. It’s also nice quality and soft. I like the lighter weight cotton too.
Customer service was personal and at a level I have not seen for years.

I love the bird t shirt.

I adore this tee shirt! Everything about it is 'practically perfect in every way.' I love the color, the fit, the feel of the fabric...It's just so cute! I'm definitely going to become a repeat customer. Thank you so much for fantastic customer service. Highly recommend! ❣️
