Blue Diamond staff get naked for pictures on social media

 

Blue Diamond joined in the spirit of World Naked Gardening Day on Saturday as some of their brave staff undressed for the occasion in many of the group's plant areas. Pictures of those taking part were then posted on the company's social media platforms...

 

The garden centre group also invited its customers to join in the fun.

 

On its Facebook page it urged customers to get in touch with their exploits.

 

"Send us your images of you in your garden at Home and you could win a £100 gift voucher to spend at your local Blue Diamond centre.

 

"PM us your message or if you are feeling your naturist side of you coming out, share them in the comments in this post!"

 

Below is a gallery of some of the pictures posted on the Blue Diamond Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bluediamondgardencentres/
