It is exciting to see what flowering plants will sprout from the lawn when we do not mow. A study with homeowners determined that pollinators benefit the most when you mow your lawn every two weeks versus every week or every three weeks.
Hi Jessica, it is exciting! I’ve got wild violets, clover, and dandelions coming up now. Have flowers started in your lawn yet? I saw that study as well and it’s great information! So after not mowing in May, resuming in June every two weeks seems to be most beneficial for pollinators. Also, have you seen ideas for a pollinator lawn? The idea is to replace grasses with creeping thyme, self-heal, and white clover so beautiful, low-growing, pollinator-friendly plants grow where grass once did so mowing is no longer needed. I may try that!
