Action on Fallen Leaves

• Clear leaves off lawns or they stifle the grass.
• Pay attention to leaves trapped amongst grey leaved plants. Rotting leaves will also rot grey and silver leaved plants like Cinneraria or Stachys.
• Leaves under bushes and shrubs can be left all winter as they will protect roots naturally through the cold spell.
• Clear excess leaves from drains and gutters to prevent blockages.
• Sweep leaves off paths as they become slippery when wet and decomposing.
• Collect leaves to make leaf mold.
• Leave leaves where they are good for wild life and the environment.
