The GTI weighs in on "No Mow May" with Good Morning Hamilton

#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.
