- Stop mowing the lawn!
- Less use or no use of petrol/electric mower, will save you some pennies!
- If you employ someone to mow the lawn, this will be an even bigger saving!
- You could throw down some wildflower seeds as an extra bonus
- This will soon create a biodiversity hotspot!
- Beneficial to bees and other insects
- Possible increase of bird species to your garden
- Once the grass and flowers start to grow, maybe mow a narrow path through if needed!
- You can't lose, let it all go for May, June and beyond!!!
See a wonderful and beautiful example of a wildflower verge here:
