Nightlife

As the sun sets and we humans begin to wind down from the day's work the nightshift takes over in the garden. Fireflies begin to flash their neon beacons. Toads emerge from their daytime resting places to hunt for a good meal. Earwigs squirm out from between the petals of flowers and set of in search of some fresh meat, and slugs begin their slow patrol of the garden. In this episode of The Secret World of Gardens we explore the wild nightlife of the garden and how these creatures of the night affect what you'll see in your garden beds in the morning.
