South Dakota Town Tops List Of “Worst Cities For Naked Gardening”

According to a recent study by Lawn Starter, Sioux Falls has secured the #2 spot on the list of "Worst Cities for Naked Gardening."

Sioux Falls, South Dakota is sandwiched between West Valley City, Utah (those overachievers) and Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Now, before you start protesting in the streets (clothed, presumably), let's consider what this ranking really means.

Apparently, our beloved city lacks the ideal conditions for au naturel agriculture.

Maybe it's our unpredictable weather...nothing says "put your clothes back on" like a surprise April snowstorm while you're thinking about planting tomatoes.

Or perhaps it's our friendly Midwestern sensibilities...diving into naked gardening might be a cultural leap too far.

Plus, there are the mosquitoes?

They're basically tiny vampires with wings, and nobody wants to give them that much target area.

The study likely considered factors like climate, privacy laws, and neighbor proximity.

With the long winters and close-knit communities, Sioux Falls isn't exactly a naked gardening paradise.

Here are the Top 10 Worst Cities For Naked Gardening according to a study by Lawn Starter...

1. West Valley City, Utah
