No Mow May

No Mow May is Plantlife’s annual national campaign that invites people across the UK to lock up their lawnmowers for the entire month of May. By allowing grass and wildflowers to grow naturally, participants provide critical early-season food sources for pollinators emerging from hibernation, including dandelions, clover, and wild violets. The campaign is designed to support local ecosystems and demonstrate how simple behavioural changes can connect people with wildlife and biodiversity.

Business Takeaways

Organisations can demonstrate environmental commitment by encouraging staff participation and incorporating nature-friendly practices into workplace grounds management. The campaign highlights business opportunities in sustainable landscaping and pollinator-friendly horticulture.

Who can join in

Homeowners, community groups, schools, local councils, businesses with grounds, and environmental advocates seeking practical ways to support UK biodiversity and pollinator conservation.
