When your out looking at nature you dont have to go far to find it. We often are looking straight ahead or up in our search to find something, that we miss whats under our feet.
Standing on grass? Look down, get down and investigate whats under your feet. The picture to the right is from my back garden lawn.
Lets have a look more closely at some of it. Straight away you can see:
- Grass
- Buttercup
- Clover
- Moss
What else can you find?
If you start to move the growth of plants to the side and look into the thatch of the lawn you will find a myriad of creatures.
- Ants
- Beetles
- Grubs
- Slugs
- Snails
- Weevils
- Worms
To some gardners these may be pests, but there is a whole eco system going on right under your feet. Have a look. What have you discovered? What plants and animals make a lawn or field their home?
