Help needed with Buxus Plants!
Agree, it looks very much like box moth caterpillar damage, the plant probably isn't dead but it is unlikely to recover as they will attack again next year.

Spring Bulbs coming up early
Don't believe it about the mice. We used to find just bundles of leaves where the mice had eaten the crocus corm underneath.

Is it worth or even beneficial to tidy up the garden?
I have a smallish town garden, it wouldn't take much to get it looking tidy. But I'm trying to teach myself not to faff so much and leave things alone.
