World Naked Gardening Day celebrates more than just a green thumb

Naked gardeningIn case you missed it, Saturday, May 14, was the seventh annual World Naked Gardening day. Begun in 2005 by Mark Storey, the event encourages people to do their usual gardening and yard work in the nude. Storey is a board member of the Naturist Action Committee and editor for Nude & Natural, the magazine of the Naturist Society. It's one of several ways naturists encourage acceptance of nudity and enjoyment of outdoor nude activity.

"Why garden naked?" asks the WNGD.org, the World Naked Gardening Day Web site. Because it's fun, it continues. "Moreover our culture needs to move toward a healthy sense of both body acceptance and our relation to the natural environment."

There are no rules for naked gardening. Wear gloves of whatever protective gear you need. Just enjoy the outdoors with as little clothing as possible.
