Bill Martin has purchased about 240 acres of land about 30 miles outside Tampa for a little more
than $1.6 million, much of it on the site of an old nudist colony that had fallen into disrepair,
which he and his business partners hope to transform into a modern-day Garden of Eden. "The Bible
very clearly states that when Adam and Eve were in right with God, they were naked," said David
Blood, executive director of the project. "When people are in right with God, they do not have to
fear nudity."
The renovated park to be called Natura would feature an open church, a giant water park for the kids
and classes in family building and strengthening marriage.
