Garden gnomes are small, decorative figurines often made of ceramic or resin, typically depicting a bearded man wearing a pointed hat. They are commonly placed in gardens, yards, or flower beds to add a whimsical touch to outdoor spaces. These charming figures are believed to bring good luck and protect gardens from pests. Originating from German folklore, garden gnomes were thought to be guardians of the earth and nature. They became popular in the 19th century and have since evolved into various styles and designs. Today, garden gnomes are a beloved element of garden decor around the world.
