Great to visit St John’s church in #Minster ward this afternoon with @Hamish4Lincs. Rev. Rachel & co. have planted a beautiful wildflower meadow outside the church and we discussed the benefits for residents and the environment from such projects.

Incredibly proud of @Love_plants colleagues who are marching in London to call for @GOVUK to #RestoreNatureNow *humans are part of nature too. Everyone wins if there's a thriving, healthy environment

Planning to mow the lawn this weekend? ⛔ STOP! ⛔ It's #NoMowMay so it's time to just 🎶 let it grow... A pristine lawn leaves little benefit for nature, while one full of wildflowers and (what some may consider) weeds provides a feast for wildlife. 1/2

🥀No Mow May is back!🌻 The initiative aims to support pollinators by allowing spring plants to set seed, and also to enable wild plants to establish, providing sustenance for bees and butterflies through the summer. 🦋 Let us know if you joining in! #NoMowMay

Before cutting your lawn and treating it with weedkiller, consider how many creatures love living in long grass. Let grass grow lusciously long and help wildlife thrive. #nomowmay #nomow #urbannature #buzzandscuttle

The No Mow May campaign goes from strength to strength. Put your mower away for a month, everyone. Do it for the bees. The National Trust is at it again this year. Well done ⁦@Love_plantstheguardian.com/environment/ar…
