How did the Zombie Garden Gnome come to be? According to the store, "A plague is loose and is set to destroy life on earth as we know it! Since Garden Gnomes are a protector of 'life' they are the first to fall ill to this new pandemic. They have become the undead in your flourishing garden of life."

The gnomes come either in 'Walking Dead' or 'Rising Dead.' With the blood splatter and loose eye, the gnomes are the perfect gift for zombie-loving gardeners.
