What Is The History Behind Garden Gnomes?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The first garden gnomes were made in the town of Gräfenroda in Thuringia, Germany in the mid-1800s by Phillip Griebel. Griebel made some little terracotta animals as decorations and created the gnome based on local myths as a way for people to enjoy the stories of the gnomes' willingness to help in the garden at night. The garden gnome spread across Germany and into France and England, and wherever gardening was a serious hobby.
