Householders are being urged not to mow their lawns for at least a month.
According to a charity, gardeners should stop mowing their lawns to let nature flourish and help combat the climate crisis. Plantlife’s No Mow May campaign encourages people to invite wildlife into their gardens and cut pollution by locking up the mower this 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, reports The Mirror. Britain’s lawns cover 125,000 hectares, the size of Bedfordshire, according to Plantlife.
