Leaves have tons of nutrients! Here’s how to uti Leaves have tons of nutrients! Here’s how to utilize that: 🍂 Leave the leaves where they fall 🍂 Rake them into garden beds. They make great - and free - mulch! 🍂 Use your lawn mower to chop them finer so they don’t kill the grass they actually help it! Let’s not waste the wonderful resource we have of Fall leaves! #leavetheleaves #leafmulching #fallcleanup #minnesota #twincities #sustainablegardening #nativeplants #minneapolis #saintpaul #minnesotagardening #howto

Some have seed heads that provide great snacks for birds over the Fall and Winter, we leaves those until Spring 🍁 Final Weeding Reach out if you’re interested in a quote for a Fall Clean-up! 651-502-8736 #garden #fallclean #minnesota #fall #fallactivities #minnesotagarden #nativeplants #twincities #minneapolis #saintpaul #leavetheleaves #sustainablegardening

Get free plants next year by harvesting your peren Get free plants next year by harvesting your perennial seeds! 🌱 Once the blooms are dried and loose, shake them into a paper bag. It’s best to store seeds in a paper bag or envelope to allow airflow so if there is any moisture the seeds don’t rot or grow too early! You can sow these in the Spring or late Fall. They’ll utilize the moisture from melting snow and spring rainfall. 🌧️ Other native perennials that you can harvest seeds from: 🌱 Bee Balm/Monarda 🌱 Rudbeckia/Black-eyed Susan 🌱 Rattlesnake Master 🌱 Sneezeweed 🌱 Hyssop 🌱 Obedient Plant 🌱 Wild Indigo 🌱 Lupine 🌱 other Coneflowers Happy seed harvesting! #seedharvest #nativeplants #freeplants #gardening #twincities #minnesotagarden #minnesota #minneapolis #seedstarting #sustainablegardening

We love cool nature discoveries in the garden! 🐛 Do you know what caterpillar this is? It’s a Ceropia moth! The largest native moth in North America! They have a wingspan of 5-7 inches. As moths, they do not have functioning mouths or digestive systems. Their sole purpose is to mate and lay eggs. The moths only survive for a few weeks. #ceropiamoth #caterpillar #garden #minnesota #sustainablegardening #nativeplants #northamericanmoth
