The World Naked Gardeing day is September 10th
From: Mark Storey
Subject: World Naked Gardening Day
Get ready for the inaugural World Naked Gardening Day! People across
the globe are encouraged, on September 10, 2005, to tend their portion
of the world’s garden clothed as nature intended.
Gardening has a timeless quality, and anyone can do it: young and old,
singles or groups, the fit and infirm, urban and rural. An elderly lady
in a Manhattan apartment can plant new annuals in her window box.
Families can rake leaves in their back yard. Freehikers can pull
invasive weeds along their favorite stretch of trail. More daring groups
can make rapid clothes-free sorties into public parks to do community-
friendly stealth cleanups.
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 closer to 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.
All that’s involved is getting naked and making the world’s gardens—
whatever their size, public or private—healthier and more attractive.
World Naked Gardening Day has no political agenda, nor is it owned or
organized by any one particular group. Naked individuals and groups
are encouraged to adopt the day for themselves.
Events like World Naked Gardening Day can help develop a sense of
community among people of every stripe. Taking part in something that
is bigger than any one household, naturist group, or gardening club
can move gardeners with an au naturel joie de vivre toward becoming
a community. And in the case of World Naked Gardening Day, it’s fun,
costs no money, runs no unwanted risk, reminds us of our tie to the
natural world, and does something good for the environment.
So what should you do? First of all, on September 10, 2005, find
an opportunity to get naked and do some gardening. Do so alone, with
friends, with family, with your gardening club, or with any other
group collected for that purpose. Do it inside your house, in your
back yard, on a hiking trail, at a city park, or on the streets.
Stay private or go public. Make it a quiet time or make it a public
splash. Just get naked and make your part of the botanical world a
healthier and more attractive place.
Secondly, tell someone about your experience. No one owns this event,
so it does not really matter whom you tell, but tell someone. Tell
your friends about your day of naked gardening; write down what you
thought of it and email it to your local newspaper; post your thoughts
and images onto an Internet site; submit stories and photos to your
club newsletter.
World Naked Gardening Day will be the second Saturday of each September.
See this site, http://WNGD.org, for updates, reports, and more
information as September 10, 2005 draws near. The idea for World
Naked Gardening Day was developed by the Body Freedom Collaborative,
but ownership of the event is open to everyone. For information on BFC,
see http://www.bodyfreedom.org.
World Naked Gardening Day is a family-friendly phenomenon. If your
group thinks naked gardening on a global scale is a great idea,
contact Mark Storey at info@wngd.org and join in the promotion of
this annual event.
Sounds like fun.
