Giant Garden Gnome at North End Organic Nursery

An organic plant nursery on busy Chinden Boulevard installed a decorative garden gnome statue around 2019, a roadside curiosity among the rows of native and water-wise plants. The nursery also runs an organic coffee bar (the NEON Cafe) and a houseplant shop inside, making the gnome a low-key landmark for the Treasure Valley.

The move: Grab organic coffee at the nursery, browse the plants, and snap a photo with the oversized gnome out front.

📍 Before you go On the grounds of an operating nursery; visit during business hours and confirm the gnome is still on display, as it is a movable decorative piece.
