The yearly No Mow May is upon us, and it's time to skip mowing your lawn for this month – and beyond, if you can.
Taking part in this crucial annual campaign is essential to our pollinators, who need all the help they can get. Whether you stop mowing your entire lawn or keep a strip free, weeds will start to appear, especially if we have warm weather. This can be off-putting to those of us who like our gardens to look neat and tidy. 'No Mow May is great for wildlife, but weeds can soon get the upper hand if you do nothing,' says Julian Palphramand, head of plants at British Garden Centres.
