Going hog wild
With the help of our BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine subscription we started turning our very standard garden into a wildlife garden. We put in a pond, a huge bug hotel, hedgehog houses and bat houses, and picked flowers and plants that would attract bees. We also got rid of our lawn and now have paths, beds and more spaces for insects and nature to hide within.
We were very excited when the hedgehogs started appearing, and felt excitement beyond measure when our hedgehog had hoglets in our garden. Here is a photo! In the words of Kevin Costner, “If you build it, they will come”!
