World Naked Gardening Day
Truly get back to nature by getting your hands dirty and spending time in your garden, entirely in the nude. Don’t forget the sunscreen, or your skin may suffer.
Celebrate body positivity and nature connection through humorous, tongue-in-cheek gardening content that drives awareness for sunscreen, garden tools, and outdoor wellness brands.

In certain countries in the world, there’s an unfortunate tendency to sexualize all nudity, making the natural state of our bodies one that is seen as uncomfortable and shameful to exist in. It is one of the continued taboos of society, that for one to be naked and to show their body, it must be sexualized or that they are seeking sexual gratification.
Well, World Naked Gardening Day is anything but sexy or seductive! The only thing that should be happening on this day of celebration for the naked human form, is you pulling weeds from the vegetable patch.
World Naked Gardening Day seeks to help change that by taking a normal everyday activity, gardening, and mixing it with another perfectly natural thing, being naked. There’s nothing like being out in the sun and soil while helping mother nature grow beautiful things to get us acquainted with the essential things in life.
This event got its start a couple of decades ago, in 2005, when it was founded by Mark Story and Jacob Gabriel.
