About this listen

Go beyond the rake and discover the incredible power of your garden's "mess"! This podcast challenges traditional fall cleanup by exploring the ecological magic of fallen leaves and standing perennial stems. We'll uncover how leaf litter creates a vital micro-ecosystem for soil health and beneficial invertebrates, and why leaving stems standing is a crucial lifeline for native bees and other pollinators. Join us to learn how these simple changes can transform your yard into a thriving, biodiverse sanctuary.
