At the beginning of May, I decided to take part in No Mow May, a campaign to encourage pollinators and wildlife to backyards to support biodiversity. I started the month by writing three reasons why I’m taking part in No Mow May — and why you should too.
Allowing your lawn to grow in the spring gives early pollinators the best chance to thrive. Flowering plants in your grass, which would normally get cut by a mower’s blade, can bloom, providing nectar and pollen for hungry insects at a time when food sources are scarce.
