It’s time we stop living in opposite land and attacking the #Earth for profit instead encourage the organic nature and flow which in the end provides more profitability
And is a necessity

Blimey. Mowing the lawn is hard work.

It's a good job #NoMowMay starts this afternoon. I'm really only doing it to chop down the hundreds of sycamore seedlings.

I've raked up a lot of moss which I'll leave for the #birds to line their nests.

I'm really pleased to have signed up for #NoMowMay again this year, giving flowers the chance to bloom and supporting pollinators.
It’s such an easy change and this will be my fifth year taking part! There’s real strength in collective action, so why not give it a go? @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Stop mowing the lawn – and five more ways to save Britain’s ‘charming’ and ‘polite’ gatekeeper butterflies Conservation can be hard work. But not when it comes to helping these little orange and brown beauties

#NoMowMay is great but “Almost the worst thing you can do is mow on 1 June, when the grass is full of caterpillars and eggs… if you have some long grass in your garden, you see more butterflies and a greater variety of #butterflies.”

Akelei - besonders geliebt, weil sie weder den Schnecken noch den Wühlmäusen schmeckt und sich nun im ehemaligen, niedergefressenen Staudenbeet breit macht.

Look what #NoMowMay brought last year

Here's a little orchid that popped up after #NoMowMay

#NoMowMay reeped rewards...

"The earth will mourn what humanity traded for greed." But it's not too late to change the trade.

Small actions create a chorus against the silence. 🐝💛

Two pink mushrooms surrounded by grass, the smaller one sheltering under the cap of the other. The stipes white, with a twist.

Since we started doing #NoMowMay in 2020, I’ve been hoping for an orchid to pop up in my lawn. But I’ll take two Pink Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis)!
AKA Ballerina Waxcap… of course they are 🩰

Martha Kearney: Why I'm concerned about our declining wildflowers The decline in UK wildflower meadows not only threatens wildlife, say experts, but could drive up certain food prices

What could the future look like if more isn't done to save wildflowers?🌼

Great piece from the BBC's Martha Kearney on the dwindling number of wildflowers & planting a meadow.

But there's hope...with more people joining the #NoMowMovement.🙌

Sad to see the end of the "No mow May" meadow. 😢
Never mind, I'm sure you'll be back again next year. 🦋🐝🪲 #NoMowMay #Meadow #Nature #Conservation

A rough patch of green grass, moss and clover. The nearest part is a paler colour where it has been mowed. Further away, there are Passiflora vines weaving their way through the grass. There are several large, round, multifaceted purple, yellow and white flowers.

Another part of the same rough patch of grass and moss etc. Several small strawberry plants are growing in runners amidst the grass.

I decided to give the "lawn" a trim now that #NoMowMay is coming to an end. 🙃

I'm not sure what to do about these Passiflora. It won't be long before they're meeting up with the strawberries coming in the opposite direction!

Why did you remove the #NoMowMay lawn meadow, if you don’t mind my asking?😇

It's a #butterfly day! 🤩😍🎉🦋 red admiral in my garden when I got in from work. Late posting tonight as we've worked hard and removed the #NoMowMay lawn meadow, taking a little longer than planned, thank goodness for street lighting 🤣 @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire

Why are we seeing so many butterflies in Ireland this year? Improved weather conditions this summer have led to butterfly populations recovering after the crash in numbers in 2024

#NoMowMay for all you pollinator champs out there, save the thistles! It's a critical month for northern pollinators arriving ahead of the bulk of veg, fruit, berry and other flowers.

Farmers making the most of the weekend weather ☀️🥵 Upland pasture closed up in April and only harvested now = good for biodiversity. Don’t be fooled by the wrap! #haylage #winterforage #nomowmay
