File this under any excuse to get naked. Now skinny dipping is fun and safe…but gardening in the buff while handling sharp tools and machinery? I could see where some appendages could get injured or even chopped off…but if the neighbors don’t mind nudity, you are done with the tools and machinery part of your gardening and you are just planting, weeding or just lounging around in the garden, well, maybe tomorrow is your day!
From the World Naked Gardening Day web site:
Get ready for the Sixth Annual World Naked Gardening Day (WNGD)! People across the globe are encouraged, on Saturday, May 14, 2011 to tend their portion of the world’s garden clothed as nature intended.
Gardening has a timeless quality, and anyone can do it: young and old, singles or groups, the fit and infirm, urban and rural. An elderly lady in a Manhattan apartment can plant new annuals in her window box. Families can rake leaves in their back yard. Free hikers can pull invasive weeds along their favorite stretch of trail. More daring groups can make rapid clothes-free sorties into public parks to do community-friendly stealth cleanups.
Why garden naked? First of all, it’s fun! Second only to swimming, gardening is at the top of the list of family-friendly activities people are most ready to consider doing nude. Moreover, our culture needs to move toward a healthy sense of both body acceptance and our relation to the natural environment. Gardening naked is not only a simple joy, it reminds us–even if only for those few sun kissed minutes–that we can be honest with who we are as humans and as part of this planet.
