Placement and Staging

Positioning your evergreen Gnomes is key to maximizing their charm. Set them among your evergreen plants, or group them together in a drunken line, reminiscent of a Gnome party. You can also place them near your entrance, welcoming visitors with festive cheer.

Don't shy away from using height to your advantage. Place larger Gnomes at the back, creating a depth of field. For smaller Gnomes, use decorated boxes or plants stands to elevate them, ensuring they aren't lost amidst the snow.

Around the House

Evergreen Gnomes aren't confined to the garden. They can also add festivity indoors. Place a Gnome near your fireplace, or on a windowsill overlooking the garden. They're also perfect for mantles, bookshelves, or even as part of your centerpiece at the holiday dining table.

To maintain a cohesive theme, select indoor Gnomes that match your outdoor decor. For example, if your outdoor Gnomes are engaged in activities, your indoor Gnomes could be in similar poses or scenes.

Evergreen Gnome Care

Evergreen Gnomes require minimal care, making them an ideal addition to your busy lifestyle. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if they get dirty, and rinse thoroughly. Store indoor Gnomes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
