Mark The Calendar: Naked Gardening Day

If it’s a particularly sunny day, one might opt for a hat, and strategically-placed sunblock; May 5th has been designated the 3rd Annual World Naked Gardening Day. By, y’know, gardening nudists.

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 sunkissed minutes–that we can be honest with who we are as humans and as part of this planet.

Personally, I’m all for people in general having a healthier body sense. Learning to accept yourself as a-ok the way God made you is a really healthy thing to do. But the idea of having my naked junk anywhere near spiders and slugs is more than enough to make me want to wear pants, thanks.
