Eco Gnome
Gnomes have been associated with garden settings since the 1800’s. The family has been recognised as environmental educators.
The eco branch of the family can be identified by the distinctive costume:
- Yellow Cap - Solar energy
- Sky Blue Shirt - Clean air
- Purple Braces - Recycled Water
- Blue trousers - Clean Oceans
- Brown Shoes - Fertile Soil
They are often seen pushing a green wheelbarrow with a globe as the wheel to show the greening of the world, and frequently with a fruit tree in the barrow to stress the need for trees, especially fruit trees for sustainability.
We have 3 members of the eco gnome family for you to colour in, and help you better understand sustainable gardening.
Dr Teresa Green and the earth doctor will talk about the need of growing suitable vegetation.
Super Sun Ray will talk about the value of power in particular solar power, powerd by the sun.
The Eco Gnome will talk about sustainable gardens and farming
