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!
