The only purpose these garden gnomes have that I can think of is to catch attention or create a shock. For me gardening is all about peace and harmony, therefore I don't like them.
Yes, I'm a proud INFP ;-)

Garden gnomes are alright... I think they are more of a joke for most people than a serious decoration. In my garden, there are no gnomes, but I may have to put a small one out there just to get a giggle!

Garden gnomes are consistently surprising and silly, no matter how many I see. They're personally not my thing...

I rather not have them. But I don't really mind when others do have them. I just personally like decorations out on my lawn. To me the decorations, are the plants.

Yes, I like garden gnomes. They are becoming more and more popular. When I was young, they were popular, and now after many years they are making a come back. When I was over in Germany visiting my fiance, they had them in stores, and some of them had such character and charm. You couldn't help but smile. The gnomes originated from Germany, so I guess I have to love them. lol
