#NoMowMay aims to support pollinators by letting grass (and weeds) grow in the month of May. However, this can increase the number of unwanted pests in your neighbourhood and decrease the quality of your lawn long-term. The take home messages are to mow when the grass needs mowing, plant native flowering species, and create a long-term plan to support pollinators.

Without turfgrass, many activities that support our mental and physical well-being would be much more difficult. Imagine trying to play Frisbee in a forest or walking your dog through a flower garden! Dr. Sara Stricker, communications and outreach coordinator at the Guelph Turfgrass Institute, reminds us of different ways grass helps us enjoy an active lifestyle.
