Abstract
The article explores the often-overlooked benefits of slugs and snails in garden ecosystems. Topics discussed include their roles as decomposers, nutrient recyclers, and slow but effective contributors to pollination and spore dispersal. It challenges the negative perception of these molluscs, emphasizing their ecological importance in maintaining soil health, aiding plant reproduction, and supporting diverse wildlife populations through their unique ecological functions.
