Not strictly garden additions but I went out with an expert on leaf-mines yesterday. In the garden and within about 1/4 mile he found the following species:
Ectoedemia angulifasciella (Stainton, 1849) leaf-mine
Ectoedemia albifasciella (Heinemann, 1871) leaf-mine
Ectoedemia subbimaculella (Haworth, 1828) leaf-mine
Stigmella aurella (Fabricius, 1775) leaf-mine
Stigmella continuella (Stainton, 1856) leaf-mine
Stigmella plagicolella (Stainton, 1854) leaf-mine
Stigmella salicis (Stainton, 1854) leaf-mine
Stigmella floslactella (Haworth, 1828) leaf-mine
Stigmella tityrella (Stainton, 1854) leaf-mine
Stigmella hemargyrella (Kollar, 1832) leaf-mine
Stigmella roborella (Johansson, 1971) leaf-mine
Stigmella anomalella (Goeze, 1783) leaf-mine
Stigmella oxyacanthella (Stainton, 1854) leaf-mine
Stigmella microtheriella (Stainton, 1854) leaf-mine
Stigmella glutinosae (Stainton, 1858) larva, leaf-mine
Tischeria ekebladella (Bjerkander, 1795) leaf-mine
Emmetia marginea (Haworth, 1828) leaf-mine
Lyonetia clerkella (Linnaeus, 1758) leaf-mine
Bedellia somnulentella (Zeller, 1847) larva, leaf-mine
Bucculatrix ulmella Zeller, 1848 leaf-mine
Caloptilia stigmatella (Fabricius, 1781) larval cone
Parornix anglicella (Stainton, 1850) larval cone
Parornix devoniella (Stainton, 1850) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter harrisella (Linnaeus, 1761) leaf-mine, pupa
Phyllonorycter quercifoliella (Zeller, 1839) leaf-mine, cocoon
Phyllonorycter oxyacanthae (Frey, 1856) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter spinicolella (Zeller, 1846) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter cerasicolella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter corylifoliella (Hübner, 1796) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter maestingella (Müller, 1764) leaf-mine, pupa
Phyllonorycter coryli (Nicelli, 1851) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter rajella (Linnaeus, 1758) leaf-mine, cocoon
Phyllonorycter lautella (Zeller, 1846) leaf-mine, pupa
Phyllonorycter ulmifoliella (Hübner, 1817) leaf-mine, cocoon
Phyllonorycter ulmifoliella (Hübner, 1817) leaf-mine, pupa
Phyllonorycter stettinensis (Nicelli, 1852) leaf-mine
Phyllonorycter nicellii (Stainton, 1851) leaf-mine, pupa
Lasiocampa quercus (Linnaeus, 1758) larva
I found the oak eggar larva and he IDed the rest!
Some of the moths have amazing life-cycles, including one that builds a small cone on the outside of the leaf which it uses as a 'bolt hole' when it's not feeding on the inside of the leaf. It's only about 4mm long.
