Exhart Good Time Solar Gnome Planter
Exhart's Good Time Solar Gnome Planter is a technical standout in the Gnome Planters category thanks to reliable solar illumination and weather-resistant resin at a mid-range price point, balancing functionality and affordability. It competes closely with Alpine on solar features but often wins on brighter LEDs and a sturdier base design, while remaining more budget-friendly than Design Toscano's premium sculptures.
