Suzanne -- maybe large, flat, dark colored rocks would give slug eating
garden snakes protection and also a warm place to sun themselves. What about
toads? Those little toad houses made from partly submerged clay flowerpots
tilted on their sides would look cute but not conspicuous among the hostas.
Anyone know how to attract toads?

With best wishes,
Betty
