A Guide to Garden Gnomes

Hello darlings and thank you for joining me again for Granny Grumbles’ Hoppin’ Hobbies. This past winter, I have spent so much time inside warming my toes with Neopia’s finest knits and drinking a variety of Borovan Teas. As much as I love the hibernation hobbies of wintertime, Neopia is thawing out and spring will be springing in no time. With a little more sun in the sky, and the rising temperatures, I have gathered my tools, pulled on my rubber boots and set off to my garden. While you all know by know how much I love the flowers and vegetables that sprout there, today’s Hoppin’ Hobbies will be focusing on the one thing that never fails to bring a smile to my face: Garden Gnomes. Neopia is blessed to have such a variety of Gnomes in all shapes, colors and sizes. Each one is unique and holds a special place in my heart. I have a not-so-secret hobby of collecting these Neopian Garden Gnomes and my garden is full of them! I want to share my Garden Gnome hobby with all of you, young and old, so here is my guide to gnome recommendations for each kind of Neopian. For the Classic Neopian : If you consider yourself a classic Neopian, you likely have a Neohome and Neogarden in our capital of Neopia Central. You do not often follow trends, but stick to a tried-and-true style for yourself, your home and your garden. A Garden Gnome may feel a bit quirky for your taste but in Neopia, they are a staple and have been around as long as Chias have roamed Tyrannia. For your tailored, crisp and clean garden, I recommend the Lucky Gnome Slorg . Slorgs are likely roving your garden anyways so this gnome will blend in naturally. The Lucky Slorg Gnome is timeless – cute and green with a characteristic red hat, it will seamlessly compliment your Shrubbery and is a nod to tradition in Neopia.

The Plight of Petpets
While our pets are often afforded the royal treatment, spending extended periods of time lounging about the Neolodge or filling themselves to contentment at Kelp or The Golden Dubloon, how often do our Petpets ever get such nice things?
