Description
This bird feeder takes the form of a cheerful bearded gnome holding a spotted toadstool, its wide cap shaped into a shallow dish for seed. He wears a tall, pointed hat in orange with cream spots that curls gently at the tip, and a long creamy beard falls over a wood-effect coat that settles into chunky boots. The toadstool's stalk rises from the ground beside his feet, so the whole figure stands steady on its own. Made from resin in a warm brown finish, it stands 38.1cm high, 22.1cm wide and 19.4cm deep: tall enough to spot from the kitchen window, yet compact enough for a small patio.
Set it in a flower border, a patio corner, beside a garden path or at the edge of the lawn, wherever you can watch the visitors come and go. Scatter seed into the toadstool cap and garden birds can perch on its rim to feed, while the gnome keeps watch with his hat pulled low over his eyes. His rounded nose peeps out between hat and beard, giving him the friendly look of a woodland character from a storybook. It brings a touch of fairy-tale charm to a plain patch of garden, and we think it makes a cheerful gift too.
The resin is finished to look like weathered wood, with grain and bark picked out in shades of brown, and the hat and cap coloured in orange with cream spots. To keep it fresh, we suggest emptying any old seed regularly and wiping the dish and figure with a damp cloth. Stand it on firm, level ground or a flat paving slab so it sits upright and steady. Tuck it among ferns or low planting and he looks as though he has wandered out of the undergrowth carrying his finest find.
