📆 February 2026 - Hedgehog

Hedgehogs will be coming out of hibernation soon and can be a great help to gardeners as they eat beetles, caterpillars, worms and slugs.

You can help hedgehogs out by leaving piles of leaves in your garden for them to make a home in and being mindful that pesticides like slug pellets are very harmful to them.
