Love/Hate : Garden Gnomes




Garden gnomes are pretty much the epitome of garden tack. In the right setting, maybe, just maybe, they can come off as fun and ironic, but as a general rule, gardens are just much nicer without them.

That doesn’t mean that I am against garden sculptures, in fact I think that used correctly they can really bring a garden to life, just no gnomes…please!

Here are some good alternatives to gnomes, I especially love the gnomes-be-gone collection and would definitely get myself one if it were not for the fact that I don’t actually have a garden…
