Guest blog: Gnome and gardenby Tara Nolan |
By Jennifer Murray
Gnomes are a staple of the gardening world—even in the Harry Potter novels, gardens are full of these little troublemakers. Treat them well, and they will guard your precious belongings and help you with chores. Treat them poorly, and they will make mischief whenever possible, including stealing keys, underwear and garden tools.
Why all the gnome talk? We thought ahead for the long, cold months ahead and found a solution for keeping our gardening spirit alive: Gnome and Garden! This handy little kit contains a mini gnome, lawn, flowers, backdrops (Swiss mountain, anyone?) and a book about how to care for your gnome at the office.
The gnome care book recommends naming the gnome (we’re going with Gnorman), greeting your gnome each day and appeasing its lust for mischief with paperclips and other offerings. Paperclips for help with office chores? Count me in…
(Gnorman was also featured in our holiday gift guide!)

So glad you got the Harry Potter reference in
This kit sounds so cute!
Awwww, what a great gift idea….especially for myself! It would be nice to have gnome to talk when I’m sitting at my desk. Maybe he’ll talk back - the plants on my desk never do!
