I tore up my lawn last summer, took me a few months but I managed to clear the entire 600ft area of invasive bermudagrass. Now, I've transformed it into a lush wildflower garden, full of native California plants and wildlife. So far there are tons of native bees, beetles, and birds that I've never seen on my property beforehand, and I can't wait to see how it further develops later on

I started with No Mow May a couple of years ago, and enjoyed seeing the flowers coming through and the amount of insects it encouraged so much that I now just mow paths through the grass instead. I try to make them different paths where possible to attempt to mimic grazers. Now I have massive numbers of bees, butterflies and and grasshoppers while next door complains they have none (with a billiard table lawn). I love hearing the grasshoppers all summer, it's so relaxing!

Last year despite being sent to Coventry by our wonderful neighbours we didnt mow the front lawn

My favorite video! The cows in the background are the best 😍. We use your videos as part of our homeschool curriculum. My son love gardening and everything related with nature. He rescues every animal he finds in trouble big or small he loves them all. Being in nature and working on the garden has helped us after we had to pull him out of public school because he was bullied so badly he was sent to the emergency room twice with injuries, because of all this happening he was diagnosed with acute stress disorder.

I've been planting a lot more wild flowers in my garden. To save money, I also dug up large clumps of grass and put them near the hedge. Lamium seems to spring up in the back garden, so I have transferred it to the front garden before my husband cuts the grass. I also got a large pot saucer and planted it with grass and thrown some wood and pine cones into it and some daisies too. This has been placed under a bush. Telling my husband not to mow the grass is like holding back the tide, so for those who like to cut the grass may I suggest that they dig up a patch of grass and put it in pots. Hidden away behind a shed or put on display will help the wildlife in some small way. I use my old frying pans (handle removed) for supplying drinks for wildlife. Thanks for the great videos.

Just done my barrel pond this evening and next to that I have a area I am going to put wildflower seeds. Never been this excited about the garden as I am this year, bring on summer. Another great video

I love all your advice. Since returning to the UK after travelling Africa myself and my partner are missing the simple wildlife we encountered, the reduction in the more common bird and bug life in my area is so shocking due to development. This year my partners decided to dig a wildlife pond and we're leaving areas unmowed, planting wild flowers and building bird and bat boxes and bug hotels! I just wish we had more space! Keep up the great work!

What a massive difference "No Mow" makes and it is heartening to see my local authority being less ruthless with their verge mowing policy whether due to budget restraints, shifts in thinking regarding biodiversity or both. Either way the benefits are many for both wildlife and us humans. Thank you Joel for being a passionate "No Mow" advocate. 🙏😊👍❤️

[@markhunter9387]

I’m absolutely amazed at the endless list of animals, insects and birds that benefit from not mowing your lawn. What an easy simple way to help wildlife 🦔

[@marya8974]

I truly think and praise God for people like you that take care of these God-given gifts may God bless and keep you by his power.

[@ellylamb3559]

Great presentation and yes we do for the last two years no cutting what used to be a lawn, but is no longer one last year it was incredible to see just how many and how varied our visiting insects were. Thank you for getting the message across in a lovely easy way for people to learn, we do need more to do the same. So please keep up the great work 💕 for all our 🐝 🐛🦋🐌🦟🐞🕷🦉🦇🦆🦅

Hi Joel!

[@SisterDogmata]

Hey Joel! Great advice as usual, and such an easy way to have more wildlife in the garden. I'm sure lots of us can attest that leaving some lawn to grow really does work and looks beautiful when the wildflowers appear. Loving those lawn mowers behind you! Hope you're all well, best wishes.

Another top video Joel . With all the current work I’ve been doing in my garden, I’ve accumulated some excess soil from all my excavation work. It’s turned into a medium size mound to the sides of my conifer run , mostly because I had nowhere else for it and I refuse to pay out for yet another skip 😆 anyway, inspiration hit me and I now plan to sow some wildflower seeds into it to create another area of my garden to attract pollinators. 😊

Last summer I came across an Adder at the bottom of my garden basking in the sun 😮😲 I didn't here you mention it, but I've been seeing loads of ladybirds in my orchard/meadow garden - my favourite beetle 😍 Enjoying your videos, which are motivating me to keep going with my wildlife gardens 👍

[@TycjanChmiel]

Hoping to get my meadow going this year and am really looking forward to seeing it develop 😺 I don’t know what’s coming up as we’re not so far along in Poland yet (dandelions only just coming up along with deadnettles) but am hoping we will get lots of insects and birds. Your video has really encouraged me!

My cats love Love LOVE the long grass and spend much more time outside in the summer months than they used to. They don't damage the wildflowers beyond establishing their own little regular pathways and like nothing more than to find a favourite patch in the partial shade of the long grass where they can snooze outside without getting sunburned.

Stick with it Joel. Your making a positive difference

[@lisatopham4249]

Thanks Joel very interesting and helpful . I have 2.5 acres for my 3 horses 1 Donkey and I'm learning how to manage it and create a healthy enviroment for them and our wildlife ! Just finished a pond and we have areas just for wildlife and a 6ft hotline edge around the horses to create a safe area beetween them and our Cornish stone hedges . Next on our list is wildflower meadow area ! Thanks for your fantastic advice .

Thanks for a most inspirationen video. As a teenager I worked on a farm with red poll cattle - a gorgeous breed, so friendly and approachable. Thanks again
