As World Naked Gardening Day approaches this Saturday, one gutsy gardener from the U.S. is shedding more than just clothes as she tends to her plants.

Known only as The Naked Gardener on YouTube, the woman from Arizona is baring it all and sharing her unique perspective on the age-old practice of gardening in the nude.   

First established in 2014, World Naked Gardening Day has since taken place each year on the first Saturday of May. 

According to the Naturist Education Foundation, World National Gardening Day encourages people across the globe to 'tend to their portion of the world's garden unclothed as nature intended'.  

However, for The Naked Gardener, every day serves as a opportunity to plant seeds and prune bushes in the nude - and the gardening enthusiast has detailed why it's 'vital' to strip off and realign with Mother Earth.

Known as @thenakedgardener_official on Youtube, the woman, who has always concealed her identity, uploaded a video in May 2023, captioned as: 'Why I Garden This Way Every Day.'

The American woman first experimented with gardening in the nude after moving from the desert in Arizona to a secluded part of land in the Midwest, which allowed her to live more sustainably and grow her own produce.

After a relationship with her partner came to an end, she sought some form of solace by taking walks and hikes while topless through sprawling woodlands, forests and mountains near her home in America's Heartland. 

For The Naked Gardener, it wasn't long before gardening naked became more than just a hobby; it became a way of life, and she describes how she believes our connection to nature is 'vital for our health, and for the health of the planet'.

She said: 'We need to remember that we are not separate from nature, but a part of it - our minds and bodies need it just like the plants. We need the sun to touch our skin, we need the air to move across our bodies, we need clean water and healthy soil.'

Explaining how she believes that our well-being is intricately linked to our connection with nature, by baring it all in the garden, the gardener feels a profound sense of harmony with the natural world. 

She added: 'When we allow our bodies to feel the sun, air and water, when we touch the soil and feel the ground beneath our feet, we can thrive and be healthier as a species - this is why I garden the naked way, to have a deeper connection again.'

Insisting that she only gardens the 'naked' way, the gardener added that she does not use any herbicides, pesticides, or chemicals, and that carries through in every other aspect of her life - from the products she uses on her skin to the food she eats.

Through her videos, she hopes to inspire others to embrace their own connection to nature, whether that means gardening in the nude or simply spending more time outdoors.

As green-thumbed enthusiasts across the globe prepare to peel off their clothes this Saturday, The Naked Gardener encourages everyone to begin stripping away the barriers between themselves and the natural world - one bare step at a time.

In 2023, the best cities in America for nude gardening were uncovered - with Miami, Florida, unveiled as the best city for naked gardening 

Meanwhile, Austin, Texas, was placed second and Atlanta, Georgia in third place, according to LawnStarter. 

Out of the ranking of the 200 biggest cities in the US, West Valley City in Utah came in last as the worst place in the country to strip off and trim the hedges.
