Gardeners urged to leave fallen leaves for wildlife
Original: Stone: Leaving fallen leaves benefits insects, wildlife, and gardens
A gardening column argues that leaving fallen leaves on the ground through autumn and winter benefits insects, other wildlife, and the health of gardens. Leaf litter provides shelter and food for pollinators and other beneficial creatures while naturally enriching soil, the piece says, challenging the habit of raking and bagging every leaf.
Why now: It is autumn leaf-falling season, when gardeners decide whether to rake or leave leaves.
