If you have a lawn let it go for a few months - we turn no-mow May into no-mow easter to mid June. I mow decorative paths through it. Let the dandelions and daisies stay. A small nettle patch. Thyme is great too. And something with rainwater too as lots of insects can stop by for a drink.

A really committed leader will engage their people in creating the change (as will the most skilled salespeople). That way the people can be a part of the solution rather than feel they are being sold it. #leadership
