World Naked Gardening Day 2026

World Naked Gardening Day

Today, the first Saturday in May, is World Naked Gardening Day.  Above, my blog follower Rex Dogg sent this photo of himself on World Naked Gardening Day 2024.

And here's Rex Dogg on World Naked Gardening Day 2025.

World Naked Gardening Day really is celebrated around the world.  Here's Andy hoeing a friend's garden in Italy in 2022.

Mikael raking in Denmark.

Mr. Plant Geek, Michael Perry, in England in 2019.

We end with a view of Mikael's end as he harvests blackcurrants in Denmark.

World Naked Gardening Day

Today, the first Saturday in May, is World Naked Gardening Day.  Being able to feel the sun and the breeze all over makes doing garden chores so much nicer, like shoveling ...

and rototilling to prepare a garden bed ...

and planting seedlings ...

and tying a plant to a trellis ...

and watering ...

and more watering.  What?  It's good for the plants, as reported in Scientific American in a July 2010 article titled "Gee Whiz: Human Urine Is Shown to Be an Effective Agricultural Fertilizer."

And weeding ...

and mowing the lawn ...

and raking up leaves, like Derek and Tony above.  Happy gardening!

World Naked Gardening Day

The first Saturday in May is World Naked Gardening Day.  Today's photos show Grubby Gardeners, an English gardening group, celebrating World Naked Gardening Day in 2017.

Peek-a-boo!  These photos were then used for a 2018 fundraising calendar.

Taking a break.

Look!  Up in the sky!  It's a bird!  It's a plane!

It's Superman!  (Sorry, this isn't from Grubby Gardeners, but I couldn't resist.)

Well, someone has to clean up Superman's mess.

We have gardening gloves.  Why would we need anything else?

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at that photo shoot.  Or is it a look at scenic behinds?

We end with this calendar photo.  My, what a big begonia you have!
