History

Hug a Shed and Take a Selfie Day was born out of one man’s love of gardening and that sacred space of the gardener, the shed. In a shed, you can have your tools tucked away to perform maintenance on your lawn and garden equipment.

Also, in this same space, you can carefully plant and nurture the coming season’s plantings, with your hand’s wrist deep in potting soil and fertilizer, seed packets and soil conditioner. Moments like these are the hallmark of the shed lover’s serenity, and for that, it deserves a hug, don’t you think?

Hug A Shed and Take a Selfie Day is just a way of showing these humble structures the love they’re due. Those of us of the back yard crew know how much this little sanctuary matters. In addition to all of the above, sometimes it’s that space that’s just yours, often equipped with a little wood stove to make it warm in the winter months, and a fan to keep it cool during the summer.

It’s full of all the smells of our special leisure time, whether that’s grease and oil or fuller’s earth and fertilizer. We love our sheds, and Hug a Shed and Take a Selfie Day is a great day to show it.
