Ancient Greeks decorated gardens with statues of Priapus, god of vegetables & protector of plants & animals. The term “gnome” is thought to have evolved from the Greek word "genomos", or earth dweller. The Romans picked up on the idea of protective garden statues & ran with it, exporting the idea to all corners of their empire. By the Renaissance, a love for all things Roman translated into a love of gnomes, who, in addition to guarding the natural world, were seen as magical advisors to farmers, even helping with chores, & guarding crops & livestock. According to lore, these magical mini environmentalists like porridge & butter on Christmas Eve, & pass out presents on Christmas with a mythical Yule goat. Professionally crafted in a smoke-free environment. Bows/fabric objects sprayed with Scotchguard Outdoor Sun & Water Shield.
