Gardeners should cut their grass less and let their gardens go wild to help bees, the Government has urged, as it joins a growing ‘no-mow’ movement.
Mowing lawns can remove vital sources of food for bees and other pollinators, which are crucial for improving biodiversity and crop quality.
The advice, which is also aimed at farmers and managers of urban green spaces, such as councils, includes limiting pesticide use and growing more shrubs.
“Bees and other pollinators are not just a welcome and much loved sight in our gardens, parks, villages and countryside – they are vital to a healthy environment, driving our economy and boosting biodiversity,” said Environment Minister Rebecca Pow.
