Yes, gardeners can work in the rain. Many gardening activities can continue during light showers. But some specific gardening tasks can’t take place during any rainy season, like mowing the lawn. During summer, even with a heavy downpour, the ground quickly dries up, and gardeners can resume their activities. However, the gardeners in New Zealand will have to postpone the project until the next day when the ground is very saturated with water after rainfall.
