Jeez! Why do I always seem to find out about the cool stuff after the fact? I’m marking my calendar for the first Saturday of May next year, because that’s when World Naked Gardening Day rolls around again.
I love to skinny-dip. There is nothing more liberating than swimming in the nude. But opportunities to do so are few and far between, and I suspect that this will be even more the case now that I reside amongst the frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest.
But gardening in the nude sounds quite appealing as well. Adam and Eve did it, after all. And it’s a great chance to expose parts of you to the sun that are normally cloistered under layers of prudish clothes. I’m also all for any event that promotes a positive body image. And you don’t have to do this in public. You can do it in the privacy of your own garden if you prefer.
An opportunity to commune with nature, get some much needed Vitamin D and have some lighthearted fun, feel free, and flaunt the norms of society all at once? Oh yeah. Count me in.

But not if clearing nettles . Do I love that leaf!
Yes, nettles would not be fun. 🙂
Adam and Eve did it in a garden with a snake in it… enough said…
Talk about commitment.
and there was nobody to see them naked… so…
And the whole heroin chic look wasn’t in style yet.
Eve did not worry about thigh gap…
No thank you – maybe 40 years ago (MAYBE) but now I really had rather swim in the buff. If a friend should pop in at least I’d have the water to hopefully cover me or maybe I could just play dead.
Hahahahahaha! You’re great.
