No Mow May encourages homeowners to stop mowing their lawns in the spring to support pollinators and improve water retention. The initiative, now also encompassing Let It Bloom June and Leave the Leaves in fall, aims to promote ecological sustainability. Amanda Beltranmini Healen shared her experience of transforming her yard through selective planting of native species and letting growth flourish, facing initial resistance but ultimately aligning with a broader environmental movement. By adopting year-round low-mowing, individuals can significantly contribute to ecological balance and water conservation efforts.
Conservation and horticulture groups say year-round low-mowing while selectively leaving native plants to grow can save huge amounts of drinking water and lead to lasting and impactful ecological changes.
Amanda Beltranmini Healen, a Nashville resident, transformed her lawn by allowing native plants to flourish, demonstrating how No Mow May contributes to ecological awareness.
No Mow May encourages homeowners to stash the lawn mower and let flowers and grass grow for pollinators and water retention, fostering environmental responsibility.
Every month can be No Mow May, as demonstrated by Healen, who has fully embraced letting her yard grow wild, promoting biodiversity and wildlife.
