Celebrating World Naked Gardening Day Alaska style!
I can’t remember if I stumbled upon this wild event on Amy Stewart’s blog , www.dirtbyamystewart.blogspot.com or Garden Voices , http://voices.gardenweb.com. September 9, 2006 , but I had to pass this along to my fellow nature lovers and garden gnomes. This September 9, 2006 is the 2nd annual World Naked Gardening Day or WNGD! Wow! This is going to be a real challenge for you gardeners in the suburbs! But, for all of us who abide in more rural areas it could be fun. Could be. Unless…you live in the subtropics and are prone to being whisked away by mosquitos…you live in the subarctic regions and are prone to being whisked away by mosquitos in down parkas! Along with a few moose who are likely to be spooked into a frenzy at the sight of my over the hill birthday suit.
Ah, well. It’s a great way to end summer and have a little fun. Mind you, we didn’t get too naked…our average daytime temperatures in the late afternoon are down to about 50f and the leaves are just starting to turn colors. By this time next month the leaves will probably be history until next spring. So, break out the champagne, pitchforks, and wellies and have a Happy World Naked Gardening Day!

I just don't think our neighbors would appreciate it if we tried this :)
Love that picture! Great legs :)
World Naked Gardening Day is a day to celebrate working in the garden au natural, as god intended, not flashing the plants.
Diva: I like it! I'm definitely a "comfort before style" kinda guy.
By the way, Garden Voices doesn't have any original content of its own. It's just a digest of other gardening blogs. So whatever you saw there originally came from another blog.
If I lived in the country, I'd join in... but in my small, wall-less, city garden? No way!
On second thought... lol... all of my neighbors have probably seen me naked through a window or two already, so maybe I should just make it official! ;)
Just be careful that the neighbors don't see you...Trust me on this one! :)
hahahah what a crazy thing! I think Id be passin on that one!
tea
xo
Wath that frostbite! ;)
Sure wish I had known about this event sooner because I could have been "perky" for the first time in years with the autumn breezes!!!!!! You don't look too sexy there ladies!
Darn! I missed this opportunity to...no, I wouldn't have the courage, even if, as anonymous said, it was what god intended! Reminds me of the lovely movie 2003 movie "off the map" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332285/), where the heroine's mother, gardening in the nude is startled by the cry of the bee-stung IRS guy, starts reaching for her hoe first, thinking it's a snake, before it occurs to her to reach for clothing, much to her adolescent daughter's dismay!
H m m m , maybe it I were 18 again.

Knock knock..anyone there? Well Happy New Year to you! Hope you're back to blogging soon!
