Epic Garden Gnome shortage hits Europe

Just when you thought the lockdown could not get anymore perverse…there are no garden gnomes to be found. The combination of lockdown gardeners and the blockage of the Suez canal has led to an giant shortage of little people. Since many outdoor products are made overseas the garden centers were affected by the ship blocking the canal as much as any other industry. Garden furniture, ornaments, of which gnomes would be some, being stuck in containers trying to come over. Garden gnomes of all varieties (stone, plastic or concrete) are reportedly difficult to come by across all of Europe. “We haven’t seen a gnome in six months now unfortunately.” According to one garden center worker, the businesses have been up 97% busier than they were before the pandemic struck.

 

Little humor to grow on

A garden gnome is busy destroying some plants when suddenly a house cat appears.

“What are you?” asks the cat.

“I’m a gnome. I steal food from humans, I kill their plants, and I raise a ruckus at night to drive them crazy.

I just love mischief!

And what, may I ask, creature are you?”

The cat thinks for a moment and says,

“I guess I’m a gnome.”
