Gnardo The Mushroom Hopping Gnome
$24.95
Description
Gnardo the Gnome is an antique reproduction of his ancestor from Germany in the 1800's. He stands watch over your garden and home from his mushroom pedestal and this cheerful guard is ready to ward off rabbits and other menaces of your beautiful bounties and blooms.
Legend Card: A country known for its great folklore, Germany has long passed down stories about gnomes, dwarves, trolls fairies, and other fantastical forest folk. According to these stories, garden dwarves were cheerful, slightly mischievous creatures who provided late-night assistance and protection to gardens and properties. When Sir Charles Isham found an assortment of terra cotta garden gnomes during his visit to Nuremberg, Germany in 1847, he was mesmerized. He brought 21 of the diminutive statues back to England with him to decorate his 90-foot rockery, beginning a sensation for bearded garden gnome statuary all over the United Kingdom that endures today.
