The joy of hedgehogs.

In our area we now have most people opening a gateway for these wonderful creatures so they can roam from garden to garden.
I can't believe the difference it has made - hostas still looking great which slugs adore of course and very little damage to other plants .
It's such a simple remedy, give them space, bung out a bit of hedgehog food and water each evening and no need to buy any other remedy. Result !!

Little fat hedgehog having a drink from the birdbath. I haven't seen it since but I am so glad it is around.

That’s such a cute pic Parsley ?

We used to have them around, and I do see the odd one but think the numbers have definitely declined around our village.
The other year I did put out some cat food as a trial.....the local cats were very pleased.

Lovely pic Parsley3. Here's one of our little hedgehog friend who lives in our garden. Recently we've seen him most days.
