Overview
- The annual No Mow May campaign asks people to skip mowing for the month so wildflowers can flower and feed bees, butterflies and other wildlife.
- New data shows rising buy‑in, with 32% of last year’s participants taking part for the first time and 66% of adults saying their garden can help nature.
- Social cues matter for younger adults, as six in ten people aged 25 to 34 say they are more likely to join if neighbours do.
- Sign‑ups last year were highest in Tunbridge Wells (TN postcodes), followed by the Brighton region (BN postcodes).
- Plantlife’s guidance is to leave some areas unmown, avoid herbicides, fertilisers and moss killers, let plants set seed, and remove clippings after cuts to limit nutrient build‑up.
