Did you know that leaving piles of sticks and yard debris in your yard encourages tiny ecosystems to thrive? I know I know, it looks un-tidy but hear me out. We’ve all battled slugs who like to eat our favorite flowers. Guess who will eat those slugs for you…frogs will! Guess where frogs like to live…in piles of sticks and moist yard debris! Piles of random things can look messy in a yard so why not spruce it up and make all the gnomes and faeries happy at the same time! Invite your kids to hunt for moss, flower petals, acorns, sticks and rocks. Then construct whatever sort of structure or scene you find beautiful. To top it off, you can put LED candles around the village to add some sparkle at night. We found these solar powered tea lights to enjoy by moonlight. Watch this reel from my instagram below…and godspeed on your moss hunt!
