History

There is no reliable information about the origin of World Naked Gardening Day. Psychologists suggest that activities requiring people to remove their clothes and appear in their natural state can help dispel insecurities about their bodies. Many people feel self-conscious about nudity, and this holiday aims to challenge those insecurities. Gardening without clothes also helps to build self-confidence.

The purpose of World Naked Gardening Day is to do your gardening chores and take a few photos while unclothed. The participants are not promoting vulgarity—intimate areas can be covered, using a watering can, a bag of soil, or other gardening tools, without detracting from the garden setting.
