Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) said it will overturn a ban on garden gnomes, for one season only, at the 100th anniversary of its Chelsea Flower Show in the summer of 2013. The RHS is inviting celebrities to paint and decorate gnomes to be auctioned off to raise funds for its nationwide RHS Campaign for School Gardening.
