British gardeners are being warned not to mow their lawns during May and June

Gardeners should stop ­mowing their lawns to let nature ­flourish and help combat the climate crisis, a charity urges.

Plantlife’s No Mow May campaign encourages people to invite wildlife into their gardens and cut pollution by locking up the mower for at least a month.

It says 97% of flower meadows have been lost since the 1970s, yet longer grass and flourishing meadows help to feed essential pollinators such as ­butterflies and bees.
