Did you know that these little garden gnomes are symbols of good luck? They were originally deployed to protect buried treasure and minerals, and even now they look out for livestock and crops from the eaves of barns and edges of gardens. Plant one in your garden for good luck! Besides, every respectable garden should have one, especially when it looks out for the Brigade of Midshipmen.
