No Mow May is an easy life hack that can save you money and deliver a host of side benefits. It’s as simple as mowing your lawn less frequently or not all during the month of May. This pause allows wildflowers time to bloom, serving up a nectar-rich buffet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Without this help, many such insects will emerge in the spring with little food to sustain them.
In turn, you can save money and time by reducing your mower’s gas or electricity use, or by skipping the mowing service. Depending on where you live, you may also save on fertilizer, water and other lawn treatments.
