No Mow May is the UK charity Plantlife’s annual campaign calling all lawn owners not to mow during May. Let your wildflowers grow this summer, they state.
We’ve lost approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows since the 1930’s and with them gone are vital food needed by pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
What are the benefits of NOT mowing your lawn?
A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife, tackles pollution and can even lock away carbon below ground. With over 20 million gardens in the UK, even the smallest grassy patches add up to a significant proportion of our land which, if managed properly, can deliver enormous gains for nature, communities and the climate.
