Everything ready … but no plants yet. So it was time to make habitat for the small creatures that would make the garden their home.

Then it was to the making of bug houses from cut lengths of pipe, filled with dead plant stems for bees and other insects to crawl in for safety, and fixed to the fences.

And logs were left in a few piles to make a moist, rotting place for slaters, snails, worms and slugs.

Time to put in some plants  …
