Where the Gnomes live
Germany's Garden Colonies
If you've visited Germany, you may have noticed some strange, thrown-together huts and allotments when passing by the outskirts of a city or looking outside the window on a train. These are actually small gardens which have been firmly rooted in German culture since 1864. Originally gardens of the poor, they have become a staple of German culture.
