Did you know that in the 18th century, wealthy Europeans hired hermits to live in their gardens as a symbol of status and wisdom? These "ornamental hermits" were encouraged to grow their hair and nails long, wear tattered clothes, and maintain a reclusive lifestyle. It was believed that having a hermit on your estate added a touch of philosophical depth and mystery. Imagine having a real-life guardian of solitude as part of your landscaping!
