History of Garden Gnomes

Most cultures worldwide have a mythical creature similar to the gnome. They are earth people that are associated with soil and plants. Legend holds it that if a gnome comes above ground in the light of day it will turn to stone. The first garden gnomes were made of terracotta in Germany in the 1800s. A few of them were brought to England and English craftsman started copying the idea. Today garden gnomes are very popular and are said take care of your garden at night. There are also faux-political movements based around gnome rights.
