Gardeners are being urged to participate in 'No Mow May,' an initiative that promotes the growth of wildflowers by refraining from mowing during the month of May. This practice not only allows established wild plants to flourish but also provides essential support to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. According to lawn specialists from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), avoiding mowing in spring can significantly enhance the biodiversity of gardens. The campaign, launched by the UK-based conservation charity Plantlife in 2019, aims to address the alarming decline of flower-rich meadows, which have seen a 97% reduction since the 1930s. By allowing wildflowers like daisies, dandelions, and clovers to grow, gardeners can contribute to environmental conservation. After May, mowing can resume, typically on a fortnightly basis, or even longer if desired.
