LAWN REVOLUTION

The very simplest thing we can do for wildlife in our gardens is mow less often, saving you time and petrol. Most lawns contain flowers: clovers, trefoils, selfheal, daisies, speedwell, buttercups and more. They just never get to flower if we are obsessively cutting neat stripes every week or two. The next time you get the urge to mow, make yourself a refreshing drink instead, sit down in a garden chair and enjoy the gentle drone of bees buzzing among the flowers. You might cut part of your lawn just once a year in late summer, creating your very own wildflower meadow.
