Gnomes

Gnomes are small, mythical creatures from European folklore, traditionally depicted as humanoid beings with distinctive, often colorful clothing and pointed hats. They are believed to be earth-dwellers who protect underground treasures, gardens, or nature. Commonly associated with gardening and rural settings, gnomes symbolize good luck, prosperity, and a connection to the natural world. While originally part of legend, decorative garden gnomes have become popular ornaments, blending myth with modern garden aesthetics. They serve as whimsical, symbolic figures that evoke a sense of charm and tradition in outdoor spaces.
