Gnome & Garden Summary

Gnome & Garden by Marcus Mennes

For more than one hundred years, gnomes have served as protectors of gardens, enabling owners to relax in the comfort of their personal outdoor settings. Recently, gnomes have moved from traditional representations of European lore to the objects of adoration in pop culture, which has thoroughly embraced the familiar images of the little bearded men with pointed hats. Now, we will bring this serene, kitschy image to the desktop, countertop, tabletop, and everywhere in between. Gnome and Garden will be an office desktop decoration, bringing the home garden to the workplace or home. The kit will include a miniature, traditionally designed garden gnome, a miniature lawn setting, flowers, and The Garden Gnome Book, providing a condensed illustrated celebration of these whimsical creatures, including: The History of the Garden Gnome - from nineteenth-century Europe to today. The Symbolism of the Garden Gnome - an analysis of the cultural reasons behind placing gnome statues within gardens. For example, garden gnomes are held as symbols of luck, hope, and goodwill. In the English tradition, gnomes serve as guardians against forces of evil. The Garden Gnome in Pop Culture - the cultural phenomenon recently spreading throughout the world in which garden gnomes are abducted, sent around the world, and photographed at famous landmarks. This trend has spawned gnomes' rights groups, such as the Gnome Liberation Front, who take it upon themselves to emancipate the long-indentured creatures, creating worldwide news stories.
