BBC Radio 4 'You and Yours' features garden gnomes

Which do you prefer? These happy chappies or....the irresistible Mr Gold?
Just to prove that we are experiencing a revival in garden gnomes, BBC 4's 'You and Yours' programme have today run a feature on them. According to Solus garden supplies, they have experienced a doubling of sales of their garden gnome ranges and Chelsea Flower show designer, David Domeney managed to persuade the RHS to lift their ban on garden gnomes for his World Cup garden design in 2010. Although you might not feel like rushing out and buying some of the colourful plastic gnomes that fell out of favour in the 60s/70s, it appears lots of people are falling in love with Mr Gold, our china gold gnome. He was a popular Christmas gift and with the interest created by Gnomeo & Juliet, we're expecting him to feature again on wedding lists as last summer!
