Learn about how garden gnomes were first crafted in 19th-century Germany before launching them from a catapult.
When the Doodle was first published, on June 10, 2018, Google said:"Look amongst the greenery of Germany's lush gardens and you might spot a red-capped gartenzwerg, or garden gnome. Today's Doodle—just in time for Garden Day in Germany—celebrates these tiny statues for their big role in German history."
In Thuringia, craftsmen would build garden gnomes by hand before using them to make molds. Garden gnomes were then made from the molds, out of clay, before being hardened in a kiln. They were then painted and sold to protect gardens.
