3D Printed Summer Garden Tour: Gnome Edition

Summer gardens across Canada are featuring 3DCentral gnomes in creative displays. This virtual garden tour showcases the best gnome placements and garden design ideas from our community.

The Welcome Committee

Pairs of gnomes flanking garden gates or front doors create a welcoming entrance. Choose guardian-posed gnomes with staffs or lanterns for a traditional feel.

The Reading Nook

A gnome settled among flowers with a tiny book creates a serene garden vignette. Position near a bench or sitting area for a companion-in-reading effect.

The Work Crew

Groups of gnomes with various garden tools — rakes, watering cans, wheelbarrows — create busy work scenes. Position along garden bed edges as if they are tending the plants.

The Hidden Village

Small gnomes tucked behind plants, peeking around corners, and hiding in foliage create a discovery experience. Visitors find new gnomes as they explore the garden.

Photography Tips

Photograph garden gnomes at golden hour (early morning or late afternoon) for warm, magical lighting. Get low — eye level with the gnome creates the most engaging perspective.
