GAME gardeners stripped off yesterday for an annual event that brings them closer to nature.

World Naked Gardening Day 2021 saw horticulturalists ditch their clothes for the 17th year.

Organisers say it is to promote “body acceptance and our relation to the natural environment”.

Kirsty Ward, 32, posed with secateurs, saying: “Just trimming my bush.”

Keen gardener Kirsty, who grows her own fruit and veg, says it is “liberating” being in the buff in her allotment once a year for World Naked Gardening Day.

She said: “At first you feel quite nervous about it but honestly it’s so liberating being outside without your kit on. Everyone should give it a go.

“Everyone has a great laugh. Just be careful of the thorns and nettles.”

In another snap she used a rhubarb leaf on her allotment in Lincoln to cover herself and said: “Glad those leaves are big enough this year.”

Poppy Douglass, 49, shared cheeky shots of her watering her plants in Banbury, Oxfordshire.

She said: “Enjoy your garden and love the skin you are in!”
