Gardeners urged to leave fallen leaves for pollinators

Original: # solarpunksunday # gardening # garden # jardin # garten # wildlife # pollinators # nature Leave the leaves on the groun

A call is circulating among gardening and nature communities to leave fallen leaves on the ground through autumn rather than raking them away. The advice says leaf litter gives pollinators and other ecologically important insects a shelter for winter, while also recycling nutrients into the soil. Tidying leaves into dedicated pollinator beds is offered as a compromise for tidier gardens.

Why now: It is autumn leaf-fall season, when gardeners decide whether to rake or leave leaves.
