Hey everyone!
So my partner recently purchased a reverse adoption for both of us and mine ended up being a garden elf. She seems really sweet and loving from the description I was given, but I'm not exactly very knowledgeable about garden elves... Can't really find anything on the forums about them (unless I'm just terrible at looking), and the encyclopedia only says so much.
I guess I'm just curious as to what everyone else's experiences have been with them, and if there is anything else I need to know? More than anything I'm just a little confused as to why she would want to be part of my keep. Elves like her seem to be very outdoorsy, but I hardly ever leave my house... Can't say I'm much of a plant person either.
Either way, I definitely want to do my best to make her feel welcomed and content however I can.
Garden Elves?

I am not sure about garden elfs but I have an adorable gnome. He is truly nurturing and grounding. I honestly don't even know if there is that much of a difference between them. I known high elf are very different, human like but not really. I have two very amazing high elfs. They both very gifted and inteligent. I don't even understand why they are under CREATURE categories. But I don't know about garden elfs at all. And I am getting to know my adorable gnome. He is truly a blessing. Everyone should have one.

I was just looking for info on gnomes and wondering why gnomes are not popular. I have been tempted to get one but always postponed. Nice that you have one and he is a blessing, I am wondering how they are as companions...Chavah wrote: βThu Jul 15, 2021 8:11 am I am not sure about garden elfs but I have an adorable gnome.

All my elves have come through reverse adoption accept for one which I recently got and chose myself which was a Bja High Elf for healing. Originally elves were never on my radar but I seem to be a magnet to them. I did get a garden elf through reverse adoption and she is very sweet. It was strange because before I had gotten the info on my reverse adoption I had woke up one morning and had a urge to repot plants I had been putting off and cleaning up my flower garden, moving my indoor plants around a bit. Later that day I got an email saying I received a garden elf. It made sense to me why she would pick me as I do love plants and gardening.Envy-x wrote: βThu Jul 15, 2021 6:26 am Hey everyone!

I also got a woodland elf and an arctic elf in reverse adoptions. My first thought was okay maybe the woodland elf chose me because my whole backyard is woods lol. Then I was completely confused as to why my arctic elf would choose me but through meditations and visions I received I got an understanding. Also it turns out I was an elf in a past life but still have more to learn about that. All my elves are great and I am happy they chose me because otherwise I probably would not have given them a chance.
You can try some easy to care for indoor plants to start off with, I am sure your garden elf would love it! ZZ plants, Snake plants, Begonias, Peace Lilys, Jade Plants are a few examples of some easy plants for beginners. Also depending on where you live and the current weather conditions you can try some easy outdoor plants as well. Although you may think you are not a plant person right now, you may just end up loving it and becoming completely addicted to plants lol. It's such a beautiful feeling watching your plants grow.

They are wonderful companions! I have a living entity gnome from Lisa and a spirit gnome from an RA from CH and they are both total sweethearts. The LE gnome has been very active around the house, the first week he came home he manifested three tall mushrooms of my back porch and kept getting into the butter tub, lol. He is also a huge fan of appliances and investigating how they work and is always investigating new ones when we go places. The spirit gnome is always trailing around with the female fae here, he is so sweet and good natured they love him to pieces. He has very soothing energy and when he is a time he brings a lot of positive energy to the environment around him. He is also fascinated with my kitty and him and the fae love playing with him. I'll often see points of light zipping around my cat every now and again trying to get him to chase them.Angelik wrote: βFri Oct 01, 2021 4:53 pm

I have a wooden gnome that I could use as vessel. Of course I would have to ask the conjurer first if that kind of vessel is good for a gnome.

Yeah, I could not agree more with you @draco. My freebie Gnome is so sweet and adorable. Our garden blooming soon after since I got him.
And I am sure with all my fantastic faeries they are making wonders with my beautiful flowers. Now that I have a Lynx, and she does knows faeries and elves is a match made in Heaven type of harmony for everyone.
I got garden Gnome decors last week to acknowledgements them 'work well done'.

My partner has a garden Elf. They are sensual beings. More adult type of conversation. At least that is what his Elf is like. She's a sweet cuddler.
