Gnome Garden Ornaments & Statues

The Jolly Donsy of Gnomes anchors the parent range

The Jolly Donsy of Gnomes is the fullest cast on offer: six colourful characters, each with their own tools and a face that isn't shared with the next one in the box. As a tableau it reads larger than any single figure in the range, which is why most owners spread the six across a shallow border or a rockery shelf rather than lining them up. Next to it is the Watering Gnome and Joyful Gnome pair at 38cm, the tallest single figures we carry, plus the 30cm Three Cheeky Gnomes (Roger, Robert and Trevor) and the 25cm 'Grow Old With Me' Gnome Couple in frost-proof cast resin.

The smaller cast and the Fishing Gnome on Log

Below the headline pieces is a friendlier tier. The Biker Gnome Garden Ornament Pair stands 22cm tall and 20cm wide, two gnomes astride one motorbike in the loud paint the subject asks for. The Biker Gnomes Ornament Set sits at the same scale. The Naughty Gnomes pair at 22cm carry the cheeky-faced expression that's done a lot for gnome sales over the years. The Fishing Gnome on Log is the only piece that wants water close by: a pond edge or the lip of a zinc trough suits it. Everything is painted cast resin with a UV-stabilised finish, made to weather a wet British January.

Where these gnomes sit outdoors

A 38cm gnome like the Watering Gnome earns a visible spot: the front of a gravel path, beside a climbing rose, or at a porch step where the paintwork reads from the kitchen door. The Fishing Gnome on Log wants water nearby, even a small pond edge or the lip of a planted trough. The 'Grow Old With Me' couple slips onto a windowsill, a memorial corner, or the corner of a raised bed. The Jolly Donsy six work best scattered rather than lined up, so tuck one behind a hosta and let another peer out from lavender. The Biker pairs sit best on a patio table edge or a gravel path turn.

Finish, care and the British outdoor life

All eight are cast resin made for outdoor life, including the wet Januarys that crack thinner ornaments. The painted faces hold colour through several seasons if the bases aren't sitting in sodden mulch, so a lift onto a paver or slate tile extends the finish. A soft brush and warm water beats a power washer on any painted gnome. None of these need bringing in for the winter.

For the size-led cuts: large gnomes for the 25-38cm tier, small gnomes for the 22-25cm pocket sizes, and extra large gnomes for the fullest tableaux. For style cuts: traditional gnomes for the red-hat silhouette, unusual gnomes for the cheekier end, and vintage gnomes for faded-paint character. The christmas gnomes cut covers the December porch run.
