Get involved with SoBro’s work by adopting pollinator-friendly gardening practices in your own gardens. “Leaving the leaves” is one of the easiest to adopt. Lighten your fall cleanup workload while benefiting the critters. And leave the stalks and seeds too.

There is so much life in your leaves. Leave them through the winter to benefit birds and pollinators and more.

And while you’re at it, save the stalks and seeds as well.

Spent stalks, seeds, and fallen leaves provide food, as well as nesting material and overwintering protection for insects and other wildlife. As it decays, the vegetation you leave will nourish the soil. Leaving the leaves helps you to create a healthy, diverse habitat.
