Garden Gnomes

Gnome Placement and Care

Is there anything more charming and traditional than a garden gnome? There’s no shortage of inspiration from our great selection of funny gnomes, and you can bring your garden to life with a few well-placed gnomes!

Garden gnomes are brilliant mascots for your flowers, so try placing them near your raised beds or garden planters for some extra charm. They also make good focal points to draw attention to your pathways or garden arches, and you could even use the element of surprise by hiding your gnomes and having them peek out from behind bushes!

Your gnomes are usually quite happy to look after themselves, but will need hosing down if they’re looking a little dirty. Move your gnomes around to keep them out of direct sunlight for too long, and don’t forget to be kind and keep them in an outbuilding if you’re expecting very bad weather.

FAQs

Are garden gnomes weatherproof?

Our gnomes love being outdoors and will withstand pretty much all weathers. However, they may start to fade if left expose to the sun for too long, so it’s worth moving them around every now and again.

Can I repaint my garden gnome if it chips or fades?

You can repaint gnomes, just make sure the paint you use is appropriate for the material that your gnome is made from and clean it thoroughly before painting.

How do I choose the right size gnome for my garden?

The size of your gnome depends on the size of your garden! A large gnome may certainly make an impact, but if you’re likely to trip over it, you’re better off going for something smaller. Small gnomes can also be used on balconies and front porches for an added touch of whimsy!
