A Garden Gnome to Keep the Pesky Neighbors Away
April 26th, 2011 by PurnimaCome summer and your garden will be blossoming with the prettiest flora and fauna that money can buy. If you spruce your outdoor space up with fountains, waterfalls, baller garden centerpieces and so forth, then your garden will surely be the envy of your neighborhood. Envy aside, there are also several pesky neighbors who would want to pay you a visit to check what is new and interesting in and around your baller house. At times like these, don’t you wish there was some way to keep them out of your house and out of your garden? How do you convey your feelings without coming across as being rude, unfriendly and tactless? If you were to ask us, you can achieve your agenda rather easily via a third party – The Non Conformist Garden Gnome created by German artist Ottmar Hörl.
Most garden gnomes sport pleasant smiles on their cute little faces. The Non Conformist does too but for reasons you won’t even imagine. Look at his raised finger and you will begin to see the whole picture. He’s definitely not welcoming everyone and anyone to your garden. Instead he is letting them know what he honestly thinks – that he’d rather not have them around. If you’re trying to keep pesky folks out of your garden, the Non Conformist is the friend you’d rather have, to convey your message. The cheeky little guy doused in gold paint is made from high-quality, non-toxic, weather resistant and breakage proof plastic. You can choose from black, white and gold colors. He measures 370 x 155 x 125H.
Be aware though, that the Non Conformist doesn’t distinguish between your friends or your foes. He conveys the same message, irrespective of the recipient. Take our advice and put him in a garden patch where you grow your prized posies. That way everyone will get your message loud and clear, without you ever having to say a word or lift a finger.
To bring the cheeky little guy to your garden, please visit Garden Life. He will set you back by a cool $135.
