Thinking about tidying up your garden for fall? It’s time for a rethink!

Fallen leaves, dried stems, loose bark and soil provide important winter habitats for insects and other wildlife.

Join us for a free webinar with Dorte Windmuller, Butterflyway Ranger, pollinator garden consultant and nature photographer, to learn how to care for your garden in a way that supports wildlife throughout fall and winter.

Dorte will share beautiful images from her own garden along with simple, practical ways to:

  • provide winter habitat for pollinators and other insects
  • rethink leaves, stems and other garden “mess”
  • support biodiversity through the changing seasons
  • work with nature instead of against it

Tuesday, October 6, 2026
7 p.m. ET
Online webinar

As Dorte reminds us, wildlife activities and needs change with the seasons. Small modifications to our garden care behaviours will provide much-needed support through the colder months and into the spring.

Whether you have a backyard, balcony or community garden plot, you can help make space for nature this fall.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Your garden may look quiet in fall, but there’s still plenty of life hiding among the leaves and stems. Join us October 6 to learn how to help it thrive.
