With over twenty unique designs having been available since
he first made his way into gardens in 2006, Woodland Wilf has proved more than
a little popular with the gnome adoring public. He’s had a love come and go
(hello goodbye, Woodland Willow), and created his own set of Woodland Friends,
but it’s high time that Wilf himself had a makeover. Little did Wilf realise, however, that new
wardrobe changes would also grant Wilf the thing he wants most – height!
Four new Wilf designs will soon be available in garden
centres and figurine stockists across the UK, capturing all aspects of gnome
life (Born to be Wild Wilf is still riding on into the sunset, for those who
are interested). Above, from left to right:
GN0063 Woodland Wilf…Waves His Wand
GN0062 Woodland Wilf…Sees the Light
GN0062 Woodland Wilf…Sees the Light
GN0060 Woodland Wilf…Pots the Plants
GN0061 Woodland Wilf…Tends to the Flowers
It’s good to see that, for at least a brief moment, Wilf
went along with the whole ‘mystical creatures’ angle, though perhaps someone
should tell him that having a good beard doesn’t automatically make him a
wizard. ‘…Pots the Plants’ sees Wilf again doing his best around your flower
beds and borders while you’re away, whilst ‘…Tends the Flowers’ is a rather
nice reworking of the original ‘…Waters the Plants’, now standing 5cm taller!
To Wilf, this is no small improvement in stature.
Finally, ‘…Sees the Light’ features a discrete solar panel
on Wilf’s back that powers his very own lamp in the evening. Now the little man
will never lose his way heading back from an evening by the pond.
