1/No Mow May is here – let’s give power to the flowers!
Approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and with them, vital food and habitat needed by wildlife. So to give nature the boost it deserves, Plantlife’s No Mow May campaign urges everyone to pack away the lawnmower and let the wildflowers grow freely! Whether you’re in a town or the countryside, it’s super easy to take part. No lawn is too small! Even the smallest wild patch can provide vital food needed by bees and butterflies, connecting us with nature and giving nature the best start to summer.
Join in by letting the wildflowers grow and be part of the No Mow Movement
