Lovely that some areas of grass on College Bank seem to have been left to allow the flowers & wildlife to thrive.
Hope this is the start of a #NoMowSummer
It's good to have a mix of lawn & mini-meadow #Mowsaic

Just one of the many benefits of having a #NoMowSummer lawn/wildflower meadow, is seeing these voracious predators… This, believe it or not, is the larval form of our beautiful little Ladybirds! Enjoying the many aphids on offer in my #wildflower #Mowsaic of a #wildlifegarden 🐞
Mown path through unmown grass. Sapling trees to the left, gorse bush to right. A large woolly ewe stands on her hind legs, reaching from the other side of a tall wire fence, to nibble at crab apple blossom/leaves.
🌾🪺✨🐦⬛🌱🕊️Our mown paths are enjoyed by local Blackbirds for their dining pleasure. All the rest is lush stuff, full of anthills, bank voles & allsorts. Bush crickets & butterflies love it in Summertime 🦗🦋 #nomow #mowsaic
Cowslips & Primroses still in their pomp & last of Snakeshead Fritillaries hanging on.
Lots of foliage of the other #Wildflowers emerging. Already filled with insects & pollinators.

I don’t do #NoMowMay anymore, but I do #NoMowSummer , cutting lawns to 3 different lengths to ensure a #Mowsaic of #Wildflowers #Fungi #Biodiversity & #Habitat for #Insects & #Pollinators
More insects = More #Birds #Bats #Hedgehogs #Amphibians

I Like it….😉👍 #Mowsaic! 😁
