No Mow May
Many mown grass areas are already full of wildflowers. If they get just a six-week break from mowing in late spring or summer they can flower and set-seed.
In those six weeks, they provide delight for us and nectar for insects. By not deviating too much from standard grass mowing management they are easy for gardeners and local authorities to do.
Why not give it a go for your front garden this year?
