Product Information

Hedgehogs typically hibernate from November to March. During these months, try to avoid disturbing them with very loud noises, going close to them, or destroying their nest.

If you see a hedgehog rolled into a ball, it means that they are feeling threatened by your presence or other external factors. Now you know that hedgehogs are good news in the garden. You know how they help you keep your plants healthy and safe. It’s time to learn how to actually attract them to your outdoor space. Hedgehogs are solitary creatures, leaving their mothers only four to seven weeks after they are born. They spend most of their lives alone, except when they pair up with another hedgehog to mate. Bridge to 2030 Garden – Working from the flooded base of a rejuvenated quarry landscape, this is a water and stone garden, with a monolith slate stepping-stone creating a bridge to the 2030 vision of no new HIV cases.

One of the essential things that hedgehogs pay attention to when they come into a new environment is how safe it is. They can spot some dangers themselves and use their spines for protection. Yet, some threats may be hard for hedgehogs to notice. So, it is your responsibility to protect them from them. Last but definitely not least, hedgehogs’ diet is mainly based on pests that are common in most gardens, including caterpillars and beetles. This helps protect the food that gardeners grow in their outdoor spaces.

Even hedgehogs feel the need to have a place that feels like “home.” Hedgehogs don’t need a comfy bed and a big TV to be comfortable, but they do need shelter and food.

There are 17 different types of hedgehogs. Different types can be found in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand.

Hedgehogs are part of the Erinaceidae family. This family also includes the moonrat and the gymnures of Southeast Asia and the Philippines. Now, with a hedgehog in your garden, you’ll never have to worry again that these pests will destroy your hard work to grow your plant collection. Attracting hedgehogs to your garden should be your no. 1 priority if you want to rest assured that your plants are protected from pests. Tips To Make Your Garden Hedgehog-Friendly

Last year’s Chelsea Flower Show brought us a feast of floral and landscaping inspiration and ideas. From a therapeutic sensory garden designed to help hospital patients recover from spinal injuries to the perfection of tulips, the focus was on wellbeing and sustainability. We even recommend discussing with your neighbours to educate them about the benefits of having a hedgehog in your area moving from your garden to theirs. This way, you’ll ensure that your neighbours also allow these small spiny visitors to move around freely. Install a hedgehog house Food and shelter are the two most essential things hedgehogs need to feel encouraged to return to your garden. And, you can provide them with both by installing a hedgehog house. During the hot season, hedgehogs will also love to find a pond where they can swim to cool off. Everybody knows that these cute tiny mammals love swimming. You’ve likely seen online videos of them taking a bath. Well, if you also want to see it live in your own garden, install a water feature that is not deep enough to be dangerous for them, but enough to allow them to enjoy some swimming. Provide enough food Other highlights include Flood Re’s Flood Resistant Garden and a celebration of 200 years of the National Gallery, sponsored by fine jewellery company Boodles, in the Sanctuary Gardens.
