As the weather warms, many of us who care about ‘leaving the leaves’ and the stems to support the over-wintering critters, are asking…‘Now?’
To help us think about ecologically smart spring clean up principles, here are a few blog posts from two of our members: Besa Schweitzer and Dawn Weber:
Time to get in shape for spring from Besa Schweitzer about getting our bodies in shape for spring gardening
Tips from Besa about spring chores in the garden
Create Habitat for Stem-Nesting Bees from Heather Holm that describes the process for leaving stems for nesting bees – it’s a multi-year process!
Dawn’s blog post about spring cleanup from 2017, which, other than perhaps a week’s delay due to climate change, (thank you AbigailAderonmu-Omunu) the principles are the same.
