Creating a Hedgehog House in the Castle Garden

A protective knight stands near a cozy wooden shelter built for a hedgehog resting in a castle garden. Providing safe nesting boxes helps small wild animals remain protected from predators and harsh weather.

European Hedgehogs in Historic Gardens

European hedgehogs are nocturnal mammals that inhabit gardens, woods, and hedgerows across Europe. Gardeners welcomed hedgehogs because their diet consists of garden pests such as snails, slugs, and beetles. A wooden house filled with dry leaves offers an ideal space for a hedgehog to hibernate through winter.
