E: 18/03 Gname our Gnome and win Boden clothes and cookery course

gnome_title.jpg

I find myself in a slightly embarassing situation. In a calamitous moment of altruism, I agreed to take in a gnome (the victim of a garden makeover). Sadly, my family were rather less gung-ho for a Gnome Reserve on our own patch. After an ugly scene, I set him to work in the roof garden above the office instead.
Though no longer homeless, he does remain nameless. All of my suggestions have been roundly ignored, so please help me complete his rehabilitation and send in some of your own.


Rake in a prize

First prize is vouchers for a day’s Sarah Raven garden and cookery school course for you and a friend together with a blooming £1,000 of Boden clothes. Nine runners-up can also win vouchers for Sarah Raven day courses for each of them and a friend.

How to enter our competition

All you need to do now is complete the below details before 18th March. We’ll choose our favourite 30 entries, put these here on our website and hold an online customer vote whereby the winner and runners-up will be decided by the number of votes their gnome gnames receive (unless they’re too rude). Many thanks and good luck
