No Mow May continues to grow
The No Mow May initiative encourages gardeners to reduce grass cutting and allow wildflowers to bloom, with 32% of participants in 2025 being first-timers. Letting lawns grow can provide a vital food source for pollinators and habitat for other insects and small mammals.
The No Mow May campaign is in its eighth year, encouraging gardeners to reduce grass cutting and allow wildflowers to bloom. A recent survey by Plantlife found 32% of participants in 2025 were doing so for the first time. With over 23m gardens in the UK, even a small patch of lawn left to grow can make a difference. Letting wildflowers establish can provide a vital food source for pollinators and habitat for other insects and small mammals. The campaign is also encouraging local councils and community groups to reduce mowing of their green spaces. Dorset Council supports the initiative, saying it can 'help give nature the boost it needs'.
