'Hibernacula' are places where amphibians and reptiles can see out the
cold winter months. Lay down some old logs, brick-rubble or
similar, and then pack the spaces loosely with wood chips. Cover the
whole thing with excavated soil to keep the warmth in. Make sure your
wintering site is located where the soil drains well. Very soon grasses
and other plants will start to grow over the top and it will
quickly blend in with the rest of the garden.
