A perfectly manicured lawn may look beautiful, but it is not of much use to wildlife. That’s because it provides little food or nesting opportunities for insects. “No Mow May” – not mowing for the entire month of May – encourages gardeners to leave their mowers in the shed and turn their lawns into oases of biodiversity.<\/p>\n

The Lawn in May – “No Mow May”<\/h1>\n

Originally, No Mow May comes from the United Kingdom – a country known for its manicured lawn culture. For several years, garden owners there have left the lawn mower unused for an entire month: There is no mowing in May. The reason for this is that not mowing the lawn strengthens plant biodiversity and helps many insects to survive.<\/p>\n

What makes less work for us, pleases the insects, because many plants can spread in the lawn, which have a high ecological value for insects:<\/p>\n
