Her colleagues wore skimpy outfits when participating

When she saw her group members, she quickly recognized a general base layer of clothing only. Sure, it was still hot outside, but this seemed way too deliberate. Most women were wearing mostly bikinis or shorts and shirts that you could tell had no underwear underneath. There was no overlapped clothing, besides their socks and shoes. As for the men, they seemed to be in athletic shorts and t shirts, some wore sweatpants. There was no sure way to tell if they had underwear on. Still, maybe she would be able to participate in normal clothes.

“Hi. You guys are Eden’s Gardeners, right?”

A woman turned to her, hair was reddish brown and she was almost forcing you to look at her cleavage. “Yes, you looking to join? We’re always open. There are only a few things we would have to cover.”

“Yeah. I am. Where can we talk about this?” Naomi looked around for an open space.

“Come over this way. We normally meet over here. Are there any other takers?”

Naomi said honestly, “I believe I was the only one.”

“That’s fine, not many join, although this is a club that is worth your time. I’m Kate. We don’t have a distinct leader, but each enforce our guidelines. First, what’s your name?”

“Naomi. I was just wondering, is this way of dress a rule or optional.” Naomi gestured to the Gardeners.

“We can’t **** someone how to dress, but it is most highly looked upon. If you need, you only are required to dress like this when we meet. Not all the time.” Kate and Naomi shared an understanding glance. “Im sure you recognize the name Eden, which if you do indeed, will help in understanding this group almost to the fullest.”

Naomi paused and looked upwards. “Ummm, I’m a little rusty on it, but I think Adam and Eve?”

Kate smiled, “You get the gist. They lived in a plentiful garden, Eden, and were peaceful. They had no need for… clothing. We are a club that finds time to care for nature, and in doing so become one with it.” Naomi stared, relatively undisturbed as Kate stripped away her clothes in one swift motion. She then realized why they were more less out of sight from all angles. She joined a nudist club. That didn’t stop her, though. It was in her best interest to have people that she knows front and back(literally now) and have people she can get close to.
