Leaves

As soon as autumn arrives, the great spectacle of the seasons begins: the leaves turn in brilliant red, gold and amber hues, detach from the treetops and swirl down to the ground in little dances – a magical greeting from autumn.

What remains there is not „rubbish“, but a quiet helper of nature. The fallen leaves cover the ground like a protec­tive blanket, retain moisture, provide nutri­ents and offer count­less small creatures a home. Hedge­hogs, beetles, worms and many other insects find food and shelter here for the cold season.

That is why the rule is: leaf blowers or rakes are only used where neces­sary – on pavements and roads. Under trees, shrubs and beds, the leaves are right and important. They help preserve a piece of nature.

See you soon in the forest – and take a moment to enjoy the colours, the scent and the rustling in the leaves. 🌳💧
