No Mow May ... Now What?

No Mow May is a great way to start thinking about alternate landscape practices, and it’s just the beginning! There are so many other ways to incorporate thoughtful landscape practices that decenter human priorities in our backyards, gardens, community spaces, and more!
Our plant choices determine who visits, stays or passes by as creatures look for food, shelter, to nest and lay eggs. When and how we decide to clean up leaves or cut plants back affects life cycles of salamanders, bees, birds, moths and butterflies. Learn more about how you can further beneficially impact all of the organisms in your local ecosystem through different caring gardening practices.
