No Mow May promotes allowing lawns to grow wild in May to support pollinators like bees and butterflies. Gardening experts highlight the importance of creating habitats for wildlife amid threats from pesticides and climate change. Preparation involves adding wildflowers and removing lawn clippings to foster growth. It's also advisable to mow traditionally before May, except in areas designated for spring wildflowers. Homeowners can choose which parts of their lawn to let grow, optimizing local ecosystems while maintaining a manageable garden.
"Habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change are all contributing to the endangering of pollinators, so it's crucial that these critters are protected and provided for."
"Add some more wildflowers to the lawn to optimise that food source and habitat for our wildlife friends."
"Wildflowers tend to emerge better from a short lawn, so you should continue to mow your lawn as usual before May unless you are hoping for spring wildflowers."
"You can choose an area you want to leave to grow and mow the rest."
