“Essentially, we're encouraging people to garden - clear leaves, do some pruning, all sorts of things - without clothes. . . Enjoy the sun on your face, the breeze on your skin and just get close to nature . . . It comes down to what your intention is.  If I was to go walking down a street in a city I think my motivation could be called exhibitionism or something like that but if you're just going to be clearing leaves away, putting some color into the garden and bending down and you're not out there flaunting yourself there is absolutely no problem.  So if you are enjoying the elements ... and you're enjoying just doing your thing out in nature then there is nothing offensive about that and we would encourage that, absolutely.” - Donna Miller, https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/356639/nzers-get-muddy-in-the-nuddy-for-world-naked-gardening-day
