Garden Cleanup for Wildlife: Supporting Pollinators This Winter

A fall garden cleanup doesn’t have to mean clearing everything away. With the right approach, your landscape can be both beautiful and beneficial, supporting pollinators and birds throughout the colder months while still maintaining a well-kept appearance.

Pollinators need winter shelter. Native bees, butterflies, and other insects often overwinter in stems, leaves, and soil.

Leaving select areas undisturbed can provide critical habitat.

Birds rely on seed and cover. Seed heads, ornamental grasses, and certain shrubs offer food and shelter for overwintering birds.

Balance is possible. Our team of horticulturists and landscape designers knows how to strike the perfect balance — keeping your garden tidy, while also making intentional choices that support the local ecosystem.

Whether you want to refresh your current beds, plan for spring, or design a dedicated pollinator garden, the Milosi team can help. Together, we’ll create a landscape that’s not only visually stunning but also ecologically meaningful.
