🤫🍄 He's been keeping this secret long enough: ELWOOD IS OFFICIALLY A STORYBOOK STAR!

"Adventures With Elwood the Gnome: Small Things" is a brand-new children's book bringing the magic of Reiman Gardens straight to your home. When Elwood finds himself feeling lonely, garden friends — the energetic Rodeo Rabbit, the adventurous Beverly Butterfly, the conservatory band The Sassy Succulents, and more — help him realize that it's the small things in life (and one surprise discovery) that bring the greatest joy.

This adorable 36-page softcover book is written by Reiman Gardens' own Andrew Gogerty, illustrated by local artist Tim Read, and printed by Heuss Printing — all right here in Ames.
