Published by Web Desk Tuesday, January 20, 2015

Gnomes. You may not often pay attention to them, but they're always there; watching, waiting and guarding the precious plants in your garden. Some carry musical instruments, some carry books and others carry garden tools. This is because each gnome is believed to have a unique job or task that they are in charge of and are said to carry out when no one is looking. These mythological beings turned garden decorations call millions of backyards and gardens around the world home. But where did they come from?

There are many theories and many thoughts on the matter but unfortunately the origins of the not so illusive garden gnome is not as clear as someone might hope. This infographic, from umbrella retailer MJJSales, will help clear the confusion and make you a gnome scholar. Hop on board the gnome wagon and follow the interesting quest through history and the origins of the little bearded men that people love to love.
