No Mow May 2022

Take action for nature by doing nothing at all! Does this sound good? It does to us, as well as to the bees, butterflies and local wildlife. 

Leave your lawn mowers in the shed throughout May and see the beauty of wild flowers unfold before your eyes. We are supporting Plantlife's #NoMowMay campaign and would love to see what benefits you and your pollinators receive this month.

Increase the quality of your soil, the health of your plants & reduce pests

Allow your pollinators to flourish and you’ll see new flowers pop up

Help out bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies and more

Provide more food and shelter for bats, birds, hedgehogs and many more

Your actions all add up and play a hugely important role in the climate and ecological emergency. The total area of gardens in the UK is greater than the total area of reserves. Changing the way we look after our gardens collectively makes a difference. 

Your local area also benefits hugely from local authorities not cutting grass verges, park edges and open spaces too often. Most councils are committed to improving wildlife habitats - keep an eye out near where you live to make sure this keeps happening.

North Somerset Council, South Gloucestershire Council, Bristol City Council and Bath & North East Somerset Council have committed to reducing some mowing schedules to allow for wildlife habitat and biodiversity protection.
