@artcollisions @breadandcircuses In most climates, if your grass is growing enough to justify regular mowing, then most pollinators have emerged. But if you can leave the leaves at least in some areas until after May, that's even better.

@LateOnsetGirl @artcollisions @breadandcircuses Thanks for sharing! My wife and I like to leave the leaves out around our bushes and sides of the house for this reason. Having a little "mess" in our yard is more beneficial in the long run. Hopefully we can convince some more neighbors to do the same :)

@afterconnery @artcollisions @breadandcircuses The Xerces Society offers a "Leave the Leaves" yard sign that might help with that. Not cheap, but it comes with a year's membership and they're a really good organization. gifts.xerces.org/products/leav
