Our Wildlife-Friendly Winter Checklist
Get your pollinator- and wildlife-friendly yard ready for winter with Blue Spruce Horticulture’s free Winter Garden Prep Checklist. This two-page guide shows you exactly how to protect native bees, butterflies, and birds through the cold months: plant fall bulbs for early spring blooms, sow native seeds now for natural stratification, leave the leaves (mostly!) for vital insect habitat, mulch gently to shield roots without smothering bee nests, and keep seed heads and stems standing so finches and solitary bees have food and shelter all winter long.
Download this beautifully designed checklist today, it’s completely free and packed with Front Range-specific tips you won’t find anywhere else. Thousands of Colorado gardeners already use it every November to make their yards true wildlife sanctuaries.
