No Mow May is a movement started by the charity Plantlife. It encourages people to let their lawn (or part of their lawn) grow long in the month of May, so flowers can flower, and in the process, helping all kinds of pollinators and other mammals, birds and amphibians that feed on them. And it’s also for you: to enjoy the beauty of a mini-meadow.
Wild Amersham @ Sustainable Amersham is encouraging as many people in Amersham to take part in #NoMowAmersham this year. Let’s try and create a chain of mini-meadows in our town this May.
Take part in #NoMowAmersham. Let your lawn grow. Sign up with #nomowamersham here. There’s lots of ideas for your mini meadow on the Plantlife website, including ID guides, tips for looking after a longer lawn, and colouring pages for children. Register your lawn with Plantlife here. Find activities for your children here. If you’d like to know what plant you are looking at, email us. Or come to one of our wildflower walks during May. Book her for the walk on the 12th of May or 17th of May. And if you can, post any photos of your flowering lawn (or before and afters!) or flowers or visiting insects etc on social media under #nomowamersham.
Let’s see if we can turn Amersham into a flowering nature corridor of mini meadows. For plants, for insects, for nature, for us.
