PLEASE RESIST the urge to clean up your gardens until after temperatures are constantly above 10 degrees Celsius, 50 degrees Fahrenheit.  

Many butterflies, bees and other pollinators are currently overwintering in the dead leaves and hollowed out stems of last year's plants.

If you clean out your garden now, you will literally be throwing away this year's butterflies,bees and other beneficial pollinators.
