Hedgehogs are called the Gardeners Friends because they eat many pests - insects, slugs, , snails, centipedes and worms but you can leave out small amounts of cat or dog food
but watch you don't attract rats
Make sure there are hedgehog access points to your garden - a small hole at the bottom
of a fence                      ,
Provide places for them to hibernate - you can make hedgehog houses with
dry leaves and grass to form a nest or just have an undisturbed area with piles of
leaves and dried plant material, old logs and things to provide shelter

This giant from the steamy forests of Tywan is loose in Halesworth! Look in the garden of The Boarding House - T Rex of Tetrapanax Rex - the rice paper plant use to make artists paper and coloured paper for artificial flowers

ONLY THANKS TO EVERYONE REALLY WORKING HARD TOGETHER

David Olds  has been asked what these aromatic slightly pungent soft silver feathery plants are. A friend visiting us suggests they are one of the many lovely Artemisia, probably Artemisia abrotanum  also known as southernwood, lad's love, maid's ruin, old man, boy's plant, appleringle, Our Lord's wood, garden sagebrush, slitherwood and lemon plant.
They have a strong smell and bitter taste which deter animals eating them although Lepidoptera Moths larvae like them. They are often used as an air fresheners. They are found in Eurasia, Africa and North America. Their silvery appearance is because they are covered with white hairs and this makes them drought resistant. They are easy to grow, take cuttings from and this plant gained an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
