Presentation: Less is More: Eco-friendly Fall Garden Cleanup

Less is More: Eco-friendly Fall Garden Cleanup

The ecological and environmental importance of all the dead stuff in your yard and why you should keep it there.

Presented by Heidi Dollard, Master Gardener and Steering Committee Co-Chair of the Massachusetts Pollinator Network

When it comes to fall garden cleanup, doing less can actually mean doing more for nature. Instead of cutting back and clearing away every dried plant, leaf, and stem, leaving them in place provides critical benefits for pollinators, birds, and soil health. This presentation will explore the surprising ecological value of “dead stuff” in your garden—how it offers food and shelter for insects and wildlife, enriches the soil as it breaks down, and protects your garden through the winter months.

Open to the public. Guest registration appreciated for planning purposes.
