Gnome Grown - Wind Power Gnome

Though they originally hail from Germany, garden gnomes now occupy a defined spot on the American lawn and among our garden pathways. The gnome is traditionally a character who is jolly, sly, thrifty and shows up in the most unexpected places. We used these traits to make learning about lawns fun, informative, and interactive.
