For the record, I did not participate in World Naked Gardening Day. In case you’ve worried.
It was May 3, observed like every year on the first Saturday of May since its “creation” two decades ago by an editor at Nude & Natural magazine.
That’s according to the internet, which of course knows everything and is occasionally right.
We might reasonably ask: who actually observes World Naked Gardening Day? Because I think we can agree that gardening while naked is dumb.
My little garden has prickly things underfoot and ravenous mosquitoes and ants that bite. A neighbor’s cat sometimes buries poopy surprises among my plants. And the sun, even in spring, would turn my naked butt into rotisserie chicken.
Listen, I’m no prude. Garden in the buff if you like. Golly, work naked alongside me in my garden.
But don’t ask me to disrobe. I’d spend the next 24 hours wearing ice packs and smearing antiseptic ointment. Not happening.
Besides, May 3 had more plausible special observances. Like National Play Outside Day. National Raspberry Popover Day. Even National Paranormal Day.
