World’s Largest Garden Gnome

Located in Reiman Gardens at Iowa State University in Ames, IA, this 15 foot gnome is the world’s largest concrete garden gnome (second only in overall gnome height to a 17 foot fiberglass gnome somewhere in Poland). He weighs in at a hefty 3500 pounds and tops the previous concrete gnome record holder in Upstate New York by two feet. He’s also very very magical.
