World Naked Gardening Day 2024
If you have roses in your garden, all we are saying is be careful out there. Ever wanted to shed your shame and go tend to your roses or marigolds or whatever? Well, here’s a day for you. 
The World Naked Gardening Day was started in 2005 by the nudist organization Body Freedom Collaborative. The purpose of the day is to “help people liberate themselves and help them reconnect with the natural world.” 
Since 2014, World Naked Gardening Day has been on the first Saturday in May. All that’s involved is getting naked and making the world’s gardens–whatever their size, public or private–healthier and more attractive. 
As stated on their home page, World National Gardening Day is when “people across the globe are encouraged, on the first Saturday of May, to tend their portion of the world’s garden unclothed as nature intended.” 
3 Reasons Why You Should Garden In the Nude
Storey and Gabriel didn’t invent a national nude gardening day to serve as just a quirky pastime. They knew it was a liberating experience that connects you with nature in a whole new way. And it’s no surprise many can’t get enough of it after shedding their inhibitions and trying it once. Who would with the sun kissing your skin and the dirt under your feet grounding you? But beyond the sheer joy of it, there are some compelling and scientifically-backed reasons why gardening nude might be the best decision you’ve ever made: 
The Sunshine
Being out in the sun is good for the body. Numerous scientific studies have delineated the benefits of regular sun exposure on a person’s physical and mental health. There’s growing evidence suggesting that sunlight contributes to the prevention of various cancers and other diseases. 
Getting some sun on your buns helps your body produce vitamin D, an essential for bone health and well-being. Since you’re frolicking around in your birthday suit, you can take advantage of this tenfold because you get the sun on every part of the body, even where it normally doesn’t shine. And as a bonus, the sun’s rays can boost your mood and energy levels, making you feel more alive and ready to tackle your gardening tasks. 
The Mindfulness
The mounting evidence supporting the notion that spending time in nature reduces stress and anxiety is not surprising. New research suggests that people who engage in therapeutic gardening programs show improvements in mental and psychological well-being, even after being in distress. 
Physical activity, fresh air, and connection to the earth can work wonders for your mental health. It encourages you to be more present and mindful. Gardening in the nude also allows you to fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and sensations of your garden. 
But make sure to extend that mindfulness to the critters in your garden and stay out of their way. Who knows, they might be enjoying the view just as much as you are and may want a piece of the action. 
The Creativity
Gardening nude (or just regular, clothed gardening) can impact your creativity. The relaxed and uninhibited state that comes with being naked can open up your mind and stimulate creative thinking. Since nature has always been a ceaseless source of creative inspiration, a nude gardening day can be the segue to your next great idea. 
Gardening is a forgiving activity. If you make mistakes, you can come up with many different ways to rectify them. This is where your creativity comes into play. This concept also aligns with theories about the benefits of exposing oneself to new experiences to stimulate creativity. 
This World Naked Gardening Day, take charge of the freedom from gardening in the nude. Feel the earth between your toes, the sun on your skin, and the breeze on your… well, let’s just leave it there. Regardless if you’re planting seeds or pruning bushes this Saturday, give your partner something to gawk at by showing off your green thumb. And maybe a little more, too.
