'Bug snugs' promoted as tidy autumn garden fix for wildlife
Original: How to make a 'bug snug' — the solution for a tidier autumn garden and helping insects, birds and hedgehogs over winter
Gardeners are being urged to build a 'bug snug' this autumn — a small pile of leaves, twigs and logs left in a quiet corner of the garden. The idea is that clearing summer growth becomes easier because the debris is gathered into one spot, while insects, birds and hedgehogs get shelter to survive the winter. It is presented as a low-effort way to tidy up while supporting garden wildlife through the cold months.
Why now: It is autumn in the northern hemisphere, when gardeners clear beds and look for ways to help overwintering wildlife.
