Soggy September with Habitat Heroes!

Hello everyone and welcome back for the new school year! We've had a bit of a soggy start to September (not to mention a general wash-out of a summer...), but at least all this rain is keeping our plants watered!

One thing us Habitat Heroes have noticed that has really enjoyed the damp is the slimy slugs and snails which have been popping up in their hundreds everywhere. Not great for gardeners looking to protect their precious veg, but fascinating little creatures to have a good close look at!
