No Mow Way

No Mow May™ Plantlife’s No Mow May is here – let’s give power to the flowers! #NoMowMay is one of the easiest ways to help and connect with wildlife, and the perfect way to start supporting nature in your garden (in May and beyond!). Join in by letting the wildflowers grow and be part of the No Mow Movement.

What is No Mow May?

No Mow May is Plantlife’s annual campaign urging everyone to pack away the lawnmower, let wildflowers grow freely and help nature. Whether you’re in a city, town or the countryside, it’s super easy to take part.

No lawn is too small! Even the smallest wild patch can provide vital food needed by bees and butterflies, connecting us with nature and giving nature the best start to summer.

Why do we need No Mow May?

Approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and with them, vital food and habitat needed by wildlife.

But your garden can help! A healthy lawn with some longer grass and wildflowers helps to tackle pollution, benefits wildlife and can even lock away carbon below the ground. There are more than 20 million gardens in the UK, so even the smallest grassy patches can add up and deliver enormous gains for nature, people and the climate.

No Mow May is the perfect starting point for summer and leaving a mix of grass lengths in your lawn from #NoMowMay and beyond means you’re giving nature the boost it deserves. Leading on to Let it Bloom June and beyond, this is the perfect time to join the No Mow Movement and manage your garden for nature all year round.

That’s why we’re calling on everyone to give power to the flowers in 2025 and take part in the No Mow Movement!
