Our nature is full of changes, and in today’s tour, we will study how the garden’s inhabitants cope with the changing seasons. With a nature in constant flux, we follow the garden throughout the year, and it’s clear how well the life in the garden is adapted. But before focusing on the individual species, we must ask a different question: Why do we have seasons?
This question can be a bit complicated to explain, but, in short, it is due to the tilt of the Earth. As the Earth rotates, different areas of the planet alternately point toward the sun, resulting in our warmer summers and cold winters.
With the changing seasons comes the need to adapt, and the various solutions to this challenge can be fascinating to explore. While the ermine (a member of the weasel family) grows a new white winter coat that provides perfect camouflage, other species, such as hedgehogs and hornets, begin their hibernation.
Many birds, on the other hand, choose to fly south to warmer regions, while others remain stationary.
In reality, many of us know very little about what animals do when winter arrives. For example, did you know that several of Denmark’s butterflies hibernate and can be seen over several summers?
