Wildlife and Gardens - Part 1 Spring is a time of garden crawling as winter's debris are removed and early weeds given a swift pull. Garden crawling brings the gardener's eye right down to plant and earth level so it's easy to observe the activity of normally invisible residents as they go about their business of turning plant debris into humus. garden • spring • soil • soil organisms • toads
