10 Messy Garden Habits That Actually Help Wildlife
Sometimes less work = more life in your garden.
1. Leave the Leaves
Butterflies fireflies overwinter in leaf litter.
2. Keep Seed Heads Standing
Natural food for birds all winter long.
3. Dont Pull All the Weeds
Clover, dandelions, and violets feed pollinators.
4. Dont Mow Too Short
Taller grass = insect habitat soil protection.
