NO MOW MAY

We Hope You Are Really Listening!

What is “No Mow May”?

No Mow May is an environmental initiative that encourages people to refrain from mowing their lawns during the month of May. The goal of No Mow May is to allow wildflowers to grow and provide food and habitat for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other insects.

By letting grass and wildflowers grow naturally, individuals can support biodiversity and create a more wildlife-friendly environment in their yards. No Mow May is part of a broader movement to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainability in urban and suburban areas. During No Mow May, individuals can enjoy the beauty of wildflowers in their yards while also contributing to the health of local pollinator populations. After May, some may choose to mow their lawns to maintain them, while others may continue to let them grow wild to support pollinators throughout the year.

Why We Are Buzzing About No Mow May

This URGENT initiative protects early spring habitat and food sources for pollinators, such as bees that help fertilize many fruit, vegetables, and grain crops like these found in the produce department of most grocery stores!!! We say, NO MO MAY ALL THE WAY! It’s really that important. You can even take it a step further like we are here at C. Devon’s Homes, and put a sign on your lawn that reads NO MO MAY! When you notice year after year less butterflies fluttering, well, with millions of people mowing their lawns in May and beyond, year after year, that would explain it. We have been mowing their spring habitat away!
