Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Vacation Gnomes

Vacation Gnomes
May 22, 2010

As the happy keeper of Gnome Empire in Ontario, Canada I was anxious to have a few gnomes volunteer to help establish a Gnome Empire Outpost at the vacation home.  I looked high and low to no avail.  I was becoming quite discouraged ready to put out an SOS for any gnomes willing to join the Gnome Empire Outpost.  Just when I was giving up hope these 2 friendly gnomes popped out of the woodwork to volunteer their services.  I was ecstatic at their generosity so took them up on their very kind offer.  Now what many don't realize is a gardener does not choose what gnomes come into their lives.  Rather the gnome chooses the gardener.  Gnomes are very helpful creatures but only to those who love the little ones.  They bring a mystical magic to the garden that's hard to capture through any other means.  I'm so glad these gnomes decided to join the Outpost!
Happy Gardening!

    I think I saw them in my back yard before they got to yours. Although the gnomes and the flamingos show up here with such frequency I see more of them than I do people. But ya gotta love 'em, and frankly, most of the time, they're better company!

    Best and hugs to you from a fellow gnome lover!

    Hi Maitri :) I'm so glad to hear from you! Gnomes, fairies, nymphs and pixies call my gardens home. So far no flamingos have showed up. They are good listeners some days. The grandbabies love discovering all their hiding spots.

    All the best and hugs to you too :)
