<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1717" src="https://gardeningtipsnideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/garden-gnome-pipe-9r-197x300.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="300" />I have a renewed appreciation for the world after reading a point in this article <em>[link since removed]</em> which advised people selling their homes not to have gnomes in their garden – or at least hide them behind the begonias until the house is sold.

The Chelsea Flower Show has banned garden gnomes in their displays and I think they should also be banned in gardens. These hideous little ornaments do nothing for a garden apart from tell people that you’re cheap and nasty and couldn’t be bothered finding anything else to add interest to your landscape.

I shouldn’t be so dogmatic about these but I detest them more than stepping in dog poo. I wrote a previous article over at my <a href="http://lawn-mowers.gardeningtipsnideas.com/2006/05/is_there_a_lawn_gnome_at_your_place.html" target="new" rel="noopener">Lawn Mower Review</a> site that listed a few options for them namely creating an obstacle course for your riding lawn mower.

I feel justified now that others have a similar opinion.
