The ‘no mow’ movement could transform our lawns
“This yard is participating in NO MOW MONTH to support pollinator habitat.”
Actually I'm for this idea. It avoids significant work and gets more bugs and weeds (Save the Planet!).
But, despite citing a couple of Midwestern academics — who probably have disgracefully shaggy lawns themselves — this whole Washington Post piece sounds cluelessly coastal to me,
“At the end of the day, what we really need is to change the American mind-set about having a perfect lawn,” [Smithsonian Gardens horticulturalist] Whicher says, “and that’s tough to do.”
Ya think?
