Apology for May 2009 Park Garden News

We would like to address any confusion and anger caused by an article in our recent Your Park Garden News for May 2009 email, regarding International Garden Naked Day.

We did not have a Naked Gardening Day here at Park Seed.  Our Ecommerce Team is creative and our Naked Gardening Day photos were intended as a joke, but they crossed the line. While the people in the photos were actually clothed and only photographed in creative ways, we understand that for some of you that was not the issue.

 We have received many positive and humorous responses, yet we realize that it showed extreme poor judgment to have sent something with potentially controversial material to our valued customers and readers in the first place.

 This does not represent Park Seed as a company, who we are, or what we are about. 

 We apologize.

It was very funny! I can't believe anyone complained about it..

I'm sorry to hear that. I thought it was very cute, and it was made extremely clear on the blog that the gardeners were not actually naked. I can't imagine taking the time to complain about fake nudity.
