We all love our gardens to be an uninhibited space. We amble, we prune and, with the gentle potting of plants, we suddenly feel free. But some people on this green earth let everything<\/em> <\/strong>hang out while they water their hydrangeas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate World Naked Gardening Day<\/strong>, a team of intrepid green enthusiasts got their kit off to raise awareness of Hulme\u2019s community garden centre.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why tend your garden as nature intended?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A freer form of gardening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe decided to get into the spirit of naked gardening to let people know that the centre is here,\u201d said centre manager Rachel Summerscales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already had 10,000 views of Dave\u2019s bottom on Facebook. There have even been calls for us to do a calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a global day that has been going for a few years. It\u2019s all about feeling free in your garden and we thought it would be a funny thing to get involved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt can be slightly hazardous when secateurs are involved and the extremes of temperature this week haven\u2019t helped. We didn\u2019t appreciate the hailstones on Tuesday! But we\u2019ve really enjoyed doing the pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from their quirky photos, the centre is at the heart of the area\u2019s horticultural community. And in many ways their attitude sums up a small portion of what we provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re committed to bringing you fun and spirited grounds that can impress clients and give you a cleaner environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we promise not to potter around your grounds in the buff, we can promise an area that will leave you feeling freer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
