Celebrating Garden Gnomes and their History

Celebrate the wonderful weirdness of garden gnomes. For decades gnomes have kept quiet watch over the yards of America and have been popular in Europe for over a hundred years. Clay gnomes were first made in Germany in the early 1800s. Plastic versions then made their way to American shores around the 1960s. And meet Dirty Bill, the world's most famous garden gnome. He's been all over the world and photographed with celebrities! Sadly Dirty Bill has been kidnapped and we hope he finds his way home soon.
