This autumn, please consider leaving dead plants in your garden rather than 'tidying' them up. Over the winter they will provide sheltered spots for hibernating ladybirds and lots of other creatures 🐞

Insect populations are in a long-term decline. Let's help them survive through autumn and winter by growing nectar-rich plants and creating wild spaces for insects (and other wildlife) to shelter in.
