Happy Arbor Day With Nick, Ellen's Hunky, Shirtless Gardener

Nick the shirtless gardener's favorite holiday? Arbor Day!

Ok, ok, so it's not really Arbor Day today.

But this clip from ELLEN just posted today for some reason, so any day can be Arbor Day as long as you spend it with Nick the gardener :)

Ellen explains that Arbor Day is Nick's favorite holiday, and as such, she wants him to share with us his beautiful trunk and spread his seeds as much as possible as a celebration!

"You get a seed! And you get a seed! And you get a seed!"

Nick the Gardener Gets Audition for Magic Mike XXL

On Thursday's episode of ELLEN, "Nick the Gardener" was hooked up with a "meet and greet" for a role in the upcoming MAGIC MIKE XXL.
