"There must always be three, no more should we see"
In a world where garden aesthetics decide a home-owner's position within the social hierarchy, three haggard, world-weary garden gnomes fear their place in the garden may be under threat. Following her eldest gnome's death, Belinda orders in a brand-new gnome, Tony, a suave and cocksure provocateur intent on sewing further divisions between her and the living stonework.
