Digby of the Open Road - Solar Biker Gnome Garden Statue

Most gnomes tend the garden. Digby just passes through it.

Nobody told Digby to slow down. Astride his chrome chopper, leather jacket on, sunglasses fixed firmly in place, he has the look of a gnome who made his own rules a long time ago and has been perfectly comfortable with that decision ever since. The American flag on the fuel tank suggests he has covered some ground.

He is the piece that makes people stop and look twice. By day the detail is all there — the hand-painted chrome, the tyre tread, the small gold accents on the fender, the white beard sitting just above the collar of that jacket. By night the headlight does what headlights do, casting a small warm glow forward as though Digby is ready to roll the moment the garden goes quiet.

He earns his spot by being unlike anything else in it.

What to know before you order

Digby is cast in weather-resistant polyresin, solid and detailed, built to sit outdoors through the seasons. The solar panel is integrated into the motorcycle headlight, charging through the day and activating automatically at dusk. No wiring, no batteries, nothing to fuss with. Hand-painted throughout with chrome, black, red, white and blue detailing that holds up well outdoors. He is a compact piece, wide rather than tall, so he sits low and naturally among border planting or along a path edge.

He arrives carefully packaged and ready to place. No assembly required.

Low maintenance, wipe-clean surface

Digby works because he is genuinely unexpected. Most gardens have a gnome. Very few have one in sunglasses on a chopper with a glowing headlight. He draws people in during the day and holds the corner at night. He also makes one of the easier gift calls for anyone who has a garden and a sense of humour about it.

Digby has a habit of selling out quickly. We stock him in limited runs and restocking takes time. If he feels right for your garden or someone you know, sooner is the better call.

Caring for Digby

Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed. Built for outdoor life year-round, though in areas with sustained hard frost, bringing him inside over winter will keep the paintwork and chrome detail in their best condition.
