Pretty Feet and Hands (available on line) is a nice exfoliant. You can use equal parts of mayonaise and salt as an exfoliant (ok for your face as well) wash off with soap and water. No you won't smell. Olive oil (any veggie oil) will penetrate the layers of your skin -- unlike mineral oil based lotions that only sit on the skin surface. I like to oil up and sit for a few minutes with disposable rubber gloves on, when I can sit still for any length of time. I too have Garden Goddess hands!! aint dirt grand?

Find a really good hand lotion (I prefer Elisabeth Arden's Eight hour cream) and spend 20-30 minutes caring for your hands every evening before going to bed.
It may not undo the damage your hands have suffered already but it will make them look and feel softer and thereby younger.
Also make sure to always have well manicured fingernails so you don't draw negative attention to your hands.
Good luck!

Mary Kay has a great satin smoothie hand set. It comes with your extra emollient night cream, hand scrub, and lotion. All with a peach scent. This works wonders. All for $30 at www.marykay.com/jseneca

exfoiliate and moisturize..I love Mary Kay's Satin Hands pampering set, but you can find other hands exfoiliator and moisurizering sets. never doubt the power of a good hand moisurtizer! AVON also has an awesome one in their RENEW line for this type of problem.

You need to moisturizes it seriously, try this recipe: http://beauty-tricks.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&Itemid=99999999&id=285
And also, you should put on a hand cream with SPF 20/ above when you are doing your gardening during the day.

Use a lots of hand moisturizer, before and after you use your hand. Paraffin treatment is also good if you can afford to get it once a week.
