The idea of not cutting your lawn until June, also known as "No Mow May,” is gaining momentum. It's meant to help flowers and weeds grow to help bees pollinate. But does it make sense? Mike Drolet, Global News, gets the answer from the experts at the Guelph Turfgrass Institute.

The OAC Virtual Facility Tours are intended for high school classes. Once you and your students have finished watching a virtual facility tour, you can request a Q&A with a researcher or expert. Each scheduled virtual Q&A session will include a short presentation on the University of Guelph’s programs that relate to the subject area of choice, followed by a question-and-answer period with the facility expert. It is recommended to prepare questions for the expert ahead of the scheduled session.
