A German sculptor named Phillip Griebel is said to have made the first garden gnomes and rumor has it that he believed in them. Garden gnomes eventually migrated to the United Kingdom thanks to Sir Charles Isham, who brought 21 of these figures back from a trip to Germany and place them around his garden in 1847. Another rumor claims that the creator of the gnomes had this weird notion that he could actually attract actual gnomes by placing these faux versions in this property. Germans also believed at the time that gnomes were real and that they attracted luck and protected gardens.
