SEATTLE, May 5 (UPI) — Gardeners from around  the country took off their clothes and planted flowers to celebrate the 10th  annual World Naked Gardening Day, organizers said.

Mark Storey, 54, started the event with his friends after asking respondents  in a poll what they enjoy doing naked, the New York Daily News reported.

Swimming was the No. 1 response, but gardening came in at No. 2.

So Storey, of Seattle, decided to set aside May 4 to encourage people to  exercise and connect with nature while naked, he said.

“The gardening-naked connection is pretty natural,” he said. “There’s not  much body acceptance around, so the idea is to get people to try it. Maybe they  will realize that the human body is OK, and also beautify the Earth a little  bit.”

There wasn’t a large gathering for the event, which was held Saturday.  Instead, gardeners celebrate it all over the country in their own way, the Daily  News said.

“It could be a little old lady in downtown Chicago with a potted plant, or a  group raking leaves at a nudist club,” he said.
