But don't spring into garden clean-up too soon. Wait until temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. Many butterflies, bees, and other pollinators are currently wintering in dead leaves and hollowed stems of last year's plants. If you remove dead material too early, you risk destroying these important pollinators. Please let them bee!  If you would like to join the Friends of the Environment mailing list, email courtney.eaton@icloud.com.
