Rethinking Fall Gardening & Cleanup

Raking out flower beds, cutting back stems, and cleaning out all the way down to the mulch often feels therapeutic after a long, hot summer. When we're finished, the garden looks tidy, and everything is back in its place. However, the stems, sticks, and leaves that we have taken away are vital to the lifecycle of many of the insects and wildlife that we want our gardens to attract. Understanding this can help you approach fall gardening in new ways and adopt different practices that can have positive effects on the health and survival of pollinators, wildlife, and even the soil itself. Join Master Gardener Adam Barkafski to learn about updated best practices in fall garden care.
