Aspetuck Land Trust recently installed a sign, created by local naturalist/artist team Linda Thomas and Don Watson, at Earthplace that highlights the value of native plants and the species that depend on them to survive all year round. ⁣🍂
⁣
The signs illustrate the flow of nature throughout the year and explain why it’s important to wildlife that we delay garden cleanups until spring (if at all), citing that there’s no waste in nature and nothing to clean up. ⁣
