The USDA hardiness zone is based on average annual extreme minimum winter temperature; it does not identify a plant&rsquo;s native range or describe the moisture under a tree. Begin with the location, then test the light and water conditions in the exact bed.</p> <p><img src="https://nativeyardatlas.com/planning-and-planting/design-full-shade-zone-6-native-pollinator-garden/full-shade-pollinator-plan.svg" alt="A full-shade garden plan separates locally checked candidate groups by light and moisture, then tracks bloom and host-plant roles across the season." loading="lazy" decoding="async"></p> https://nativeyardatlas.com/establishment-and-stewardship/seasonal-cleanup-zone-6-native-pollinator-garden/ Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://nativeyardatlas.com/establishment-and-stewardship/seasonal-cleanup-zone-6-native-pollinator-garden/ <h1 id="seasonal-cleanup-for-a-zone-6-pollinator-garden">Seasonal cleanup for a zone 6 pollinator garden</h1> <p>Hardiness zone 6 does not set a cleanup date or identify the insects using a garden. Instead, decide what to leave, move, or remove by looking at plant health, habitat structure, access, and how people use nearby spaces. Different pollinators use different materials, and leaving some habitat does not require leaving everything untouched.</p> <p><img src="https://nativeyardatlas.com/establishment-and-stewardship/seasonal-cleanup-zone-6-native-pollinator-garden/cleanup-decisions.svg" alt="A three-way cleanup guide distinguishes healthy habitat material to leave, material to move away from high-use areas, and material to remove for health or safety." loading="lazy" decoding="async"></p>
