Nora Wigley Landscape Designer The Creation, Organization, and Refinement of your Outdoor Space I specialize in space organization. What's more important than that?

Whether your outdoor area is large or small, function and practicality are crucial. My designs and philosophy are entirely low maintenance and environmentally sustainable. They are tailored not only to your specific site conditions and your tastes, but also for how you want to spend your outdoor time. Oh yes, the birds, the bees, and the butterflies will be happy too.

ALERT: Your yard cleanup could wipe out an entire generation of native pollinators! 🐝

SHOCKING FACTS:
- 80% of native bees nest in dead plant stems
- One stem can house up to 20 pollinator larvae
- Early cleanup destroys 6 months of bee development
- Native bees are worth $2000 per yard in pollination

What's Really Living in Your "Messy" Yard:

1. Hidden Residents:
- Mason bee cocoons
- Leafcutter bee nests
- Native wasp larvae
- Beneficial predator eggs

2. Critical Areas to Protect:
🌿 Hollow plant stems
🍂 Leaf litter piles
🌱 Standing perennials
🌸 Seed heads

3. How to Help:
- Wait until May to clean up
- Leave 15" stem heights
- Create brush piles
- Mark pollinator areas

YOUR ACTION PLAN:
✅ Stop all cleanup until 50°F consistent temps
✅ Bundle and store cut stems
✅ Create "pollinator corners"
✅ Educate your neighbors

REMEMBER:
A messy yard is a thriving ecosystem!

Looking for an airy, graceful and classy shrub for your property? You’ll never regret getting a Witch Hazel. The earliest spring blooms, fall colour and almost no maintenance required. FAR superior to Forsythia, imho.

Red and Blue

There’s no bird feed here, and certainly no insects, the ground is frozen.
These birds are looking for seeds and ordinary plant parts..
Leave the garden debris. 🍂🍁🌲
