Meet Our Newest Garden Resident: Baby Gnome
(Arrives June 2026)
Something tiny is arriving in a very big way this summer.
Back in 2010, Elwood made his debut as The World’s Largest Concrete Gnome. Now, in our Big & Small theme year, he’s joined by a much tinier companion—proving that even the biggest legends have small beginnings.
In garden folklore, gnomes are quiet protectors of plants and soil—tiny caretakers with big responsibilities. This Baby Gnome celebrates that magic, reminding us that even the smallest guardians help gardens—and imaginations—grow.
Perfect for family photos and summer memories, Baby Gnome is sure to become an instant guest favorite. Join us this summer for a “Gname the Gnome” contest! Stay tuned to Reiman Gardens social media channels for more information!
