No, that isn’t Gnomedini, the great gnome illusionist, but a representation of what a kidnapped gnome might experience at the hands of his captors. The sad truth is that gnomes continue to be abducted from perfectly good gardens, like that of Margaret Robertson. There are instances when garden gnomes are kept against their will, but… Continue reading Kidnapping still a garden gnome reality
Gnomes care to send the very best
Sarah has some great wee cards over in her Etsy shop. I noticed she is from Kansas City and wonder if she works as an illustrator at Hallmark? I believe there is some untapped potential around a line of gnome holiday cards, particularly birthday tree cards. (A few humanfolk have asked if I get any… Continue reading Gnomes care to send the very best
Night of the Living Gnome
There are strong opinions about keeping garden gnomes. Some articles have even gone so far as to tie dropping property values with the presence of a gnome. Perhaps those critics will turn their attention to the effects of acquiring a lawn zombie. Now, unless you are trying to impress other George Romero fanatics, or trying… Continue reading Night of the Living Gnome
Gnome consideration at all

We all have bellies as we enjoy the fruits of our labour and… Continue reading Gnome consideration at all

I don’t know many gnomes with the name Henry, but I’m certain if you renamed this guy he wouldn’t mind. The wee folks over at Wishing Fish offer a toy gnome that records what you say or sing and plays it back in an annoying and completely false representation of a “funny gnome voice.” Perhaps… Continue reading Henry(?) the talking gnome
Hats off to Henry
Henry was one of those rare human folk who shared a great affinity for our work as we did for his care and creative flair. He must have a bit of gnome blood in him. What’s nice is that even though the Moray Council may not be able to benefit from him in the future,… Continue reading Hats off to Henry
Fun for an entire year
Apparently Mateusz Skutnik is going to release a 10 Gnomes game episode each month for the rest of the year. I am fearful for how much the garden might suffer if I continue to lose hours playing these wee games. And to make matters worse, he has other addictive wonders on Pastel Stories.
Nice hat
Tom appears to have gotten quite a nice hat.
Ground Farce
I’ve only caught a few episodes of Ground Force, but it is safe to say I’d rather have the team work on my garden as opposed to placing statuettes of the team in my garden. However, the wee folks over at Gardeners’ Tips spotted the option should you seek it out. Even better, they posted… Continue reading Ground Farce
Gnome vs. Godzilla
A garden gnome with an uncanny resemblance to a certain 72-year-old environmentalist. A veritable Godzilla in the form of the chemical industry.
