WNGD Thoughts & Photos

“Yorkshire man Robbie Cave dumped his clothes to share a special moment with his palm tree.  One mother and her baby girl got into their birthday suits together for a naked family gardening session on the north coast of New South Wales.  Meanwhile, men got their hoses out to water the garden, with one Queensland man showing off his toned muscles and outrageous tan line below his waist.  A woman was pictured naked while she operated some heavy garden machinery on a cold Autumn morning in Mooroopna in regional Victoria.  World Naked Gardening Day is a rare event that aims to 'develop a sense of community' and make the world's gardens 'more attractive' . . .” - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6991823/Green-fingered-horticulturalists-globe-strip-world-naked-gardening-day.html

 “World Naked Gardening Day is on the first Saturday of May.  Did you (un)dress for the occasion?” - https://www.wideopenspaces.com/world-naked-gardening-day-may-7th/

“Show off your green thumb and maybe a little more Saturday by doing some gardening in the buff.  While there’s nothing stopping you from weeding in your all-together anytime you have a private opportunity, the naturist community has been marking World Naked Gardening Day on their calendars since 2005 . . . The official day comes around each year on the first Saturday in May.” – Steven Adams, https://triblive.com/lifestyles/more-lifestyles/tips-for-making-the-most-world-naked-gardening-day/

 “Gardening naked is a multi-sensory experience.  When the wind blows, you’ll feel it against every angle and curve of your body.  The sun’s warming rays feel great on those parts of you that are typically covered up.” – Krystal Trammell, https://thehomestead.guru/naked-gardening-2/

“Whether you prune your trees, dig a hole, plant something or mow the lawn, you can stay naked. . . being naked is much, much more comfortable.  One of the many benefits of gardening naked is that you will not dirty any clothes.  You may get dirty, but a good shower will clear your skin completely.  Another benefit is that you can sweat freely, without having sticky clothes. . . Have fun gardening naked!” - https://nuetheureux.com/2017/11/29/nudist-idea-18-garden-naked/

“We know there are a lot of people who want to be comfortable with their bodies . . . World Naked Gardening Day offers a chance for people to be comfortable within their own homes, yet challenges them by stepping outside into the backyard.” - Get Naked Australia, https://www.perthnow.com.au/lifestyle/garden/people-encouraged-to-get-their-hoses-out-for-world-naked-gardening-day-ng-b881181368z?utm_campaign=share-icons&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&tid=1556449031882

“Outside of skinny dipping, gardening ranks as the top activity that people are willing to try nude.” – Krystal Trammell, https://thehomestead.guru/naked-gardening-2/?utm_campaign=Justin&utm_source=Justin&utm_medium=Justin&fbclid=IwAR3lD_rnJhLJ3US97fMFnflvFs8qTkUdLRPdGQMjPkWqYZqzwcvSNoPeGXg

“Gardening naked helps us get over society’s body image issues.  Whether you’re alone or with friends, gardening naked is a great way to promote body acceptance and ‘rewild’ ourselves as natural beings.

“Luckily we don’t enjoy the sun and the garden naked to make others see us!  If they DO – and don’t like it – they are free to close their eyes.” – Varg, https://thehomestead.guru/naked-gardening-2/#comments

“Go get you a hoe - start your gardening naked!” – Terrie, https://thehomestead.guru/naked-gardening-2/#comments

“Gardening is a natural antidepressant.  Microbes in healthy garden soil contain B12 which is key for mental health, and new studies show that getting dirty outside helps lift your mood.  Plus, you get to commune with nature in a way that just doesn’t happen when you’re fully dressed.” – Krystal Trammell, https://thehomestead.guru/naked-gardening-2/?utm_campaign=Justin&utm_source=Justin&utm_medium=Justin&fbclid=IwAR3lD_rnJhLJ3US97fMFnflvFs8qTkUdLRPdGQMjPkWqYZqzwcvSNoPeGXg

“Being outside in the sunshine is healthy for the body and emotions.  When you garden naked, you get the benefits of vitamin D on every part of your skin, and you can even rid your farmer’s tan a little, too.” – Krystal Trammell, https://thehomestead.guru/naked-gardening-2/?utm_campaign=Justin&utm_source=Justin&utm_medium=Justin&fbclid=IwAR3lD_rnJhLJ3US97fMFnflvFs8qTkUdLRPdGQMjPkWqYZqzwcvSNoPeGXg

“Being outdoors naked gives you an incredible sense of body awareness - you feel the sun, wind and cold with your whole body.  I'm going to sound like a right old hippy, but there's a real sense of being at one with nature. . . I love to garden in the nude and I'm fortunate that the house I live in is quite secluded (it was one of the main reasons why I chose it).” - https://www.independent.ie/life/what-it-feels-like-irish-naturist-50-on-why-shes-happier-with-her-clothes-off-even-in-the-snow-36812436.html
