Gordon would like to experience the diverse range of gardens not only in the UK but around the world, wherever I am found please take me to your home and photograph your garden or anything horticultural related then place me in another cache so I may continue my green fingered quest.
Attached to this Travel Bug is a garden Gnome, the first ones were made in Grafenroda, a town known for its ceramics in Thuringia, Germany, in the mid 1800s. Philip Griebel made terracotta animals as decorations, and produced gnomes based on local myths as a way for people to enjoy the stories of the gnome’s willingness to help in the garden at night. The garden gnome quickly spread across Germany and into France and England, and wherever gardening was a serious hobby.
