Urban Farm DB summary
An overview of Plantlife's 'No Mow May' campaign, urging people in the UK to stop mowing their lawns during May to let wildflowers grow and support bees and butterflies. The page states that approximately 97% of the UK's flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and notes there are around 23 million gardens in the UK, meaning even small patches can add up. It encourages extending the practice beyond May into a year-round 'No Mow Movement' of managing lawns with mixed grass lengths for nature.
