Philly Is One Of The Best Cities For Naked Gardening

Author Kayla Morgan

Who knew naked gardening was a thing? If you’re looking for places where you can peacefully garden in your birthday suit without the fear of being exposed to tickets or jail time, LawnStarter put together a list for you.

In Celebration of World Naked Garden Day, the website ranked the best cities for naked gardening. They compared 500 of the biggest U.S. cities based on 4 categories: nude gardener friendliness, local interest, weather forecast, and safety. Specifically, they considered the number of local nudists, the legality of public nudity, Google searches, and forecasts for the May celebration, among 11 total metrics.

“The naked truth? Some cities are more accepting of nude gardening, and it’s still too nippy in some cities to be outside wearing just a hat and gardening gloves,” they said.

Philly is One of the Best Cities for Naked Gardening.

You may be wondering exactly where this naked gardening is taking place. To be honest, that was my first thought too. I truly hope you don’t see someone at the Brewerytown Garden or any other local garden showing it all off.

The city was ranked as the second best city for naked gardening. This could be because it is a top place for nude gardener friendliness. Celebrate World Naked Gardening Day at home or maybe make it a weekend at a naturist BnB in Philadelphia. Sunny Rest Resort is another option. The website also highlighted how two Philly TV anchors had fun talking about World Naked Gardening Day. Check it out here.

Top 5

Miami, Florida topped the list as the best city for naked gardening. “Celebrate WNGD with like-minded gardeners at Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort in Loxahatchee or visit Haulover Beach and check out the park’s flora,” they said. Following behind of course is Philly. At number three is New York. It was highlighted for having a high local interest. They even encourage naked rooftop gardening.

Interestingly, Austin, Texas claimed spot number 4. The heat isn’t stopping people from becoming naked botanists at “Hippie Hollow.”

Wrapping up the top 5 is Asheville, North Carolina. “Naked gardening seems a natural (or au naturel) backyard activity in North Carolina’s liberal bastion known for its annual topless rallies,” they said. The website did point out that Asheville has no law banning public nudity but state lawmakers are attempting to change that.

I absolutely love gardening. But I’ll probably pass on gardening nude. It seems messy and plus there are bugs. Apaprently, there are some benefits to it. According to Hobby Farms, one of the benefits of gardening nude is that you have all access to free irrigation and fertilization via your pee. â€œSpread your compost and plant seeds without any fabric getting between you and that gorgeous, luscious soil,” they said.

They do note that you should mind your neighbors, be aware of your parts when gardening, avoid things that sting and itch like poison ivy, and frequently slather sunscreen.

5 Plants That Will Make Your Garden Smell

Plants don’t always give off beautiful floral aromas, scents, and smells. There are plants that give off unpleasant smells that could stink up your garden. Most plants give off produce scents to lure in pollinators and repel predators.

Bees and butterflies are drawn to your garden by sweet scents from fragrant flowers. Plants with foul odors smell this way to attract flies and beetles which normally lay their eggs in feces and rotting materials.

With the gardening season around the corner, you may want to consider avoiding putting these plants in your garden.

Here are five plants that can smell up your garden.
