No Mow May
No Mow May is Plantlife’s annual campaign urging everyone to pack away the lawnmower, let wildflowers grow freely and help nature from your doorstep. From May onwards, simply stop mowing your lawn (or even just a small part of it) and do more by doing less.
Why do we Need No Mow May?
Approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and with them, vital food and habitat needed by wildlife.
But your garden can help! A healthy lawn with some longer grass and wildflowers helps to tackle pollution, benefits wildlife and can even lock away carbon below the ground.
There’s around 23 million gardens in the UK, so imagine the impact if we all took part! Even the smallest grassy patches can add up.
