Gnome Countryside

Gnome Countryside Gnome Countryside Gnome Countryside shares these beliefs, which strive towards environmental education, awareness, and respect. Balance yourself at Gnome Henge.

For Hundreds of years nearly every culture from Irish to Native American, has shared legends of little people who inhabit the forest as caretakers of their surroundings. Open your imagination to the intriguing world of gnomes as you embark into the woodlands of Gnome Countryside. Rich Humphreys, storyteller, teacher, and “Gnomeman” has been positively influencing the curious minds of children alon

g the trails of Gnome Countryside for over 30 years. While walking along the wooded trails, participants are encouraged to use all five senses to discover the beauty and enchantment of the forest. The trial meanders throughout the property, by “talking rocks” which suggest words to incorporate into our daily lives. Stops along the trail create connections and narratives through stories, hands-on activities, decision-making, and participation. Gnome countryside offers an educated field trip which touches on aspects of zoology, geology, biology, botany, native plant identification, and ecology through storytelling, nature lore, poetry, parachute games, music, singing, humor and of course fun. Come search for gnomes as you enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of Gnome Countryside. Listen to the secrets of the trickling Gnome Gniagra. Share the magic of the Bamboo forest. Take the time to discover beauty with “oohhs” and “ahhs.” Send out vibrations of peace while beating the peace drum. You will take memories that will last a lifetime.

***Disclaimer: We can’t promise anyone that they will see any gnomes, but we can promise everyone that they will have a wonderfilled walk full of wonderful memories to share with their family and friends :)

In the midst of sculpting Manfred, the Gnew years Gnome, I took a bronze casting class at Millersville University. Needless to say Manfred became a part of it. I often tell groups that perhaps we can only see the elementals when we are tuned in to a higher frequency. I felt it fitting to adorn Manfred with this Amethyst quartz headpiece. He will be a part of a limited series

I thought it would be exciting to make a limited edition ceramic “Gnew Year’s Gnome” each year to bring in the year. Each gnome will share a meaningful theme and story to inspire and perhaps even guide us as a symbolic totem throughout the year. So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to Manfred, a peace loving soul here to inspire a more kind and connected community in 2025. Manfred is a student of nature, a quiet observer, a thoughtful listener, and an ardent supporter for the respect of all aspects of the natural world and its inhabitants. More information and details to come….just wanted to share this with you today!🎉 PS.This is an image of the in-progress master sculpture from which a mold will be made. 💫Gnomaste!🕊️
