Sit back and watch the flowers grow
We love No Mow May, an initiative launched in 2019 which asks nothing more than we lock up our lawn mowers for a month and watch the wildflowers grow. As campaigns go, it could not be simpler to follow, nor easier to understand. As a country we have lost a shocking 97%of our natural wild flower meadows since the 1930’s, depriving our native pollinators of nectar and contributing to the rapid decline of biodiversity. In liberating your lawn for one month, not only will you be countering this, but you will also encourage native wild flowers back into your garden, without actually lifting a finger.
And when you sit in the sun and read a book at that moment when last year might have been mowing, take a look at what might be growing where once only grass was allowed: last year over 250 plant species were recorded as part of the no mow initiative, many of them very rare like meadow saxifrage and knotted clover. Imagine the delight of spotting a bee orchid as you sip your morning coffee, or a cluster of snakes head fritillaries as you snooze in the long grass.
