You see a backyard weed, but bees and other pollinators see food, especially valuable this late in the season. Resist the urge for a perfect lawn! Let some backyard space grow wild to help provide habitat and to sustain local wildlife 🌱🐝

"Saving the stems" to provide nesting space for cavity-nesting insects begins in the fall. All you have to do this season is leave dead plant stalks alone and intact through the winter.

Then you can start the process in the spring with barely any work at all:

Yesterday, a drought was officially declared in New Jersey. It's never been more important to be mindful of your every day water usage. Conserve water at your home and business. #everydropcounts 💧

[New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection @NewJerseyDEP]

Today, the DEP issued a statewide drought watch.

We urge residents and businesses to conserve water as persistent dry and hot conditions continue to stress water supplies throughout the state.

These measures can help avoid more serious and restrictive drought conditions.
