Tip for supporting our native pollinators at the end of the season: Don’t work so hard! Unless obviously diseased, leave your plants in the garden and do your clean-up in the spring to provide important over-wintering homes and protection from the weather to our native pollinators such as bees, caterpillars, ants, and flies. (Trees in your yard are critical habitat for caterpillars too!) Bonus: some plants will self-seed if left alone at the end of the season, for example herbs such as dill and cilantro easily drop seeds that will sprout in the spring!
