Fall Gardening Tips:
These simple actions will provide certain pollinators with a place to overwinter.
- Leave the Leaves: Don't remove fall leaves from your property. Instead, rake them into planting beds to get them out of walkways. Don't shred the leaves unless absolutely necessary.
- Don’t Cut Back Perennials: Leave entirely or wait until March to cut back to 6-18” tall (not to the ground). Leave dead hollow stems for 2 years.
- Add Signage: if you're worried your neighbors will think you aren't caring for your landscape. Let everyone know you're looking out for our pollinator friends.
