Let's Talk About Garden Gnomes

Garden Gnome statues can add a touch of whimsy, color and humor to your garden.  I defy anyone who spies a wee gnome peeking out from behind a tree stump or nestled in the ground cover not to smile. 

Some folks like to go all out and create a "gnome tableau" complete with an array of various gnome figurines,  a small bridge, an ornamental wishing well and even a gnome door for a portal into their mysterious world.  I love this type of gnome themed garden display.  However, in my own yard, in which I have many garden gnomes and a lot of gnome related garden decor, you will be hard pressed to see any of it on first glance.  I like to tuck the gnomes and all their acccessories in little nooks and crannies, to be pleasant surprises to those enjoying my landscape.  After all, gnomes are known to be elusive little magical beings and spotting one is a delightful and unusual event.

Love gnomes?  They are not just for the garden.  I love to show off my gnomes on bookshelves.  They can be excellent bookends!

Folks would love to see your gnome pictures.  Did you dress up as a gnome for Halloween?  Was your child a gnome in a play?  Do you have pictures of your own gnome statues or ones you have found in your travels?  I'd love to post them to the blog for readers to see.  Just send them to me at contactus@gnomegarden.net and I will publish them on this blog.  Please, include information about the photo or photos.  I will only include information that you wish...nothing that will invade your privacy.  Hope to see your garden gnomes pics soon.
