Where are all the butterflies? Swallowtails, Luna, Fritillary moths, Bees, fireflies, and more live in the dried, curled up leaves that drop to the ground for Winter. It's their home and placing them on the curb as garbage, well, you figure it out why we're losing them. Stop cutting the grasses and perennials this Fall. Leave your leaves. Put them in your garden, better yet, make a new bed for next year and start planting for more Butterflies.
Let's get together and find creative ways to use your leaves. They’re nature's pure gold freebie! HorticulturalManagement.com or call 609-209-3879. |
