GORDON THE GARDEN GNOME
 

 

What do Gnomes do?
Gnomes are GARDENERS. It is their job to look after every garden in the world - one Gnome to each garden.

So, how come my garden is a mess?
You have a lazy Gnome.

How come I haven’t seen my Gnome?
Gnomes are shy by nature. Some Gnomes are masters of the ancient Gnome art of 'Ornamentalism' remaining still for many hours at a time.

Are Gnomes magical?
Yes. Gnomes have magical pointy hats.

 

 
 

Pointy hats?

  • In order to graduate from Gnome Academy, every Gnome must grow his own hat from a seed. It’s a very difficult horticultural challenge. But if he is successful, he can use his hat in many different ways…

  • A Gnome's hat has magical healing powers.
    Used with a healing spell, placing a Gnome’s hat over a wilting flower can revive it. With a growth or shrinking spell it is possible to make objects bigger or smaller. But, as with all magic it must be used wisely, as there can be side effects. A shrinking spell could make you feel a bit sick and growth spell magic is slightly unstable.
 
  • Looking through the pointy end of a Gnome's hat turns it into a powerful telescope.

  • Speaking into a Gnome’s hate it becomes a Gnome telephone. You shout into the pointy end, and sound comes out of the hollow end.

  • In dire emergencies, the hat can be used as a flying device for just under 10 minutes. It’s a bit wobbly, and more than a little dangerous, as there is no safety strap. It’s not a Gnome’s preferred mode of travel.
 
  • The most important function for a gnome’s hat is for Gnome Post. Letters and Parcels can be posted into the hat and sent to any destination. And if a Gnome states a location and blows histhumb whilst wearing a Gnome hat, he can posted to his desired location too!


  • If a Gnome loses his hat, ‘Strange Things’ start to, as a reminder to keep looking for it. [In the Episode Where’s My Hat?, Gordon’s nose turns into a pinecone, his hair grows like grass and his boot become very big.]
 

Who’s in charge of all the Gnomes?
The Chief Gnome is in charge, from his home at The Royal Botanical Gardens Kew (Kew Gardens). His home is an ancient tree, situated near, The Palm House.


What is Gordon’s Magic Calendar?
On the wall in his bedroom, Gordon has a magic calendar. The picture on the calendar changes every day, giving Gordon a clue as to what will happen in his garden on that day.
