About this word search
Secateurs are the small pruning shears gardeners use on roses and shrubs, and a Pergola is a frame for climbing plants to grow over. A Rockery is a garden bed of stones and plants that like dry, well-drained soil.
Hedgehogs eat slugs and beetles, which is why many gardeners are pleased to see them. Slug and Hedgehog are both here, along with the Ladybird, another helpful visitor that eats aphids.
Vegetable patch and Stepping stones are the longest entries and the best anchors in an eighteen-square grid that uses every direction. The K in Hanging basket and Rockery helps after that.
