Personally, I always gave a mixture of print and fear. And like all scary things … I have to face the garden gnomes!

There are plenty of people I like. This can be verified easily, for example, in Germany 30 million gardens have a dwarf.

There is also the sociologist Hans Prahl, who has developed a new discipline "enanología.

He is dedicated to studying the origin of garden gnomes that, according to his theory lies in the Middle Ages in Turkey.

These would be a replica of the pygmies who worked in underground mines, who were dressed in colorful clothes to be seen in the dark. Then were attributed magical powers, and that is why to protect the owners of mines ordered to make replicas of their employees, so as to ward off the evil forces who lived in the center of the earth.

Once made, this statue quickly became an item of decoration.

Currently the garden gnomes have their own museums and parks. And conventions are made against "the ridicule of the dwarf and its legitimate manufacturing in Germany since 1995.

To me the truth I do not like at all, and as I said before is like giving me miedito.

But if you'd like, I'll leave some designs for you to choose what you put in your garden:
