Discover The Freedom Of World Naked Gardening Day

Ah, springtime! With the weather warming up people all over the United States are headed out, many of them with a little less on their bodies, and a little less on their minds. I just noticed that World Naked Gardening Day is coming up May 3rd which naturally got my mind racing.

There is nothing like the feeling of the warm sun hitting your back the first time you go shirtless. I would imagine that feeling is multiplied by going out with nothing on but a smile, hoe in hand to do a little with the sun hitting otherwise never hit body parts to do a little 'naked gardening.'

I was even more surprised to see that they actually have a ranking of the most popular cities in the US to get out and do a little Naked Gardening. To determine the best place to let it all hang out, the list was compiled using 11 metrics, including nudist populations, public nudity laws and more. We're quite a way down the list with Sioux Falls coming in at number 359.

To find the best places to let it all hang out among the hedges, Lawnstarter.dot com analyzed the top 500 US cities for nude gardening. Using 11 revealing metrics, including nudist populations, public nudity laws, Google search interest, and even the forecast for World Naked Gardening Day, they put together quite a list.

For good measure, I Googled South Dakota Nudity Laws and was met with some pretty strong language.

The AI overview stated;

In South Dakota, appearing nude in a public place or exposing one's genitals with the intent to arouse or gratify sexual desire, or under circumstances likely to annoy or alarm others, is illegal. This includes appearing nude in a public place. Specifically, SDCL 22-24-1.2 defines indecent exposure as a Class 1 misdemeanor, but can be a felony with previous convictions for certain sex crimes. 

After reading the South Dakota Statue I decided, that if one was going to disrobe on 'said day' and feel the warm sunshine on parts normally not 'warm sunshined'  [that is if it's even warm enough in our Land of Infinite Variety State] then this naked gardening, could be a thing. After all , when you're out in nature and you can't get any more nature than au natural.

Then I really went down a rabbit hole. I googled up items you need to garden and could see why nudity and gardening might go together. Just look at some of the 'tools' you need and let your mind run.

A hose. A diamond hoe. Fertilizer. A Garden hoe and my favorite, since I'm a guy a watering wand caught my attention.

There are a few hazards to watch out for, if you were to say, do a little nude gardening in a garden spot that wouldn't be spotted. Sunscreen, all over would be one. Make sure to use it pretty much everywhere.  If you're going to sit on good old Mother Earth, make sure you're not sitting on an ant hill. Watch out for prickly, pointed plants, and do not use a hedge clipper, string trimmer, or rototiller naked. Those rules fall under the same guise as .don't fry bacon in the nude, inside your home.

You'll have to pick your place carefully, if you plan on doing some nude gardening, Keep it to yourself and take a few precautions. But if you decide to throw caution to the wind and leave your clothes hanging on a bush, I say good for you! May 3. National Garden in the Nude Day is coming soon!
