Ya hear?
….And don’t forget your sun screen!
Have you always wanted an excuse to shed all of your clothes and head out to your garden to do some work? If you have, then you probably will want to know about World Naked Gardening Day.
This unofficial holiday is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in May. The purpose of this holiday is to help people liberate themselves and help them reconnect with the natural world. And while it’s a holiday that promotes the nudists lifestyle, it is one that is considered to be very nonpolitical and all done in good fun.
History of World Naked Gardening Day
This holiday was created by Mike Storey and Jacob Gabriel as a Body Freedom Collaborative project and introduced in Nude & Natural in 2005. After the idea was introduced to the public, it quickly gained moment and began to grow outwards in an almost organic manner. Now it is celebrated by nudists all over the world who want to enjoy this holiday.
The first time this unofficial holiday was celebrated was on September 10, 2005. However, it’s fall placement wasn’t ideal because the best time to nurture plants is during the spring, so it was suggested that it be moved into one of the spring months. Two years later, in 2007, it was moved to the first Saturday of May and that is when it continues to be celebrated.
Tips For Successful Nude Gardening
- Be sure to take precautions. You want to make sure that you don’t want to hurt yourself on this holiday, so be sure to take the following precautions: wear sunscreen and/or insect repellent; If you’re a male, be careful using a line trimmer of shears; and wear a protective hat or gloves, if necessary.
- Show your neighbors some consideration. While it’s legal in many areas to tend a home garden in the nude, don’t be surprised if some of your neighbors don’t appreciate it too much. If you’re neighbors aren’t enlightened, then take the necessary precautions. Also make sure that it’s legal to garden in the buff in your locality.
