Ben Boltbearer

Covered in grease and grins, this tinkering gnome is always ready to fix what’s broken—or take it apart just for fun. With a wrench in one hand and a pocketful of bolts in the other, he keeps your garden tools in tip-top shape. If you hear clanking at night, it’s probably him tuning up a wheelbarrow.

Warning: Gardeners whisper that he occasionally swaps perfectly working tools for “improved” versions that no one can figure out how to use.
