If ever a non-holiday had an awkward-sounding name, this is it! Welcome to World Naked Gardening Day. This spin-off of guerilla gardening, it was created by Mark Storey and Jacob Gabriel, who have since steppe into the shadows of promoting it, but it’s taken on a life of its own because being naked in the garden is part of our Adam and Steve DNA.
Since our gardens are a bit behind this year, and the pool is still closed, I won’t be frolicking in Adam’s original outfit in real time (I know, such a lost opportunity…) However, in keeping with the spirit of things, I dug out (get it, like with a garden spade?) some old photos of nakedness near the garden because it’s always fun to join the celebration.
“Do you, good people, believe that Adam and Eve were created in the Garden of Eden and that they were forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge? I do. The church has always been afraid of that tree. It still is afraid of knowledge. Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas. So does whiskey. I believe in the brain of man.” –
