Yes. I bought a garden gnome and put him in my yard. Everyday he taught me something new, until my horse stepped on him and crushed his head. It was horrible! So I bought a new one.

hmm. I don’t think so. It seems those gnomes only know about travel. and they tend to roam off to who knows where. and I have proof. He is a gmome on the roam………… maybe he will visit yoiur garden too.

No he wouldn’t be able to teach you what you need to know…

But he could teach you all that you are capable of learning.

maybe you should put him in the backyard (so nobody will steal him) and sit with him to contemplate your life in the peacefulness of your yard. this really could enlighten you thru the solitude and enlightenment of meditation and soul searching...he may not teach you anything, but you might just learn alot!

You will learn more about the neighbours and theives around you if you buy a gnome. Gnomes are environmental creatures so when in the garden have a quick chat at the nearest bush or tree, with the gnome you will not see.
