No mow May appears to work. Verge in front of our house in the Peak District has a new flowering plant a common spotted orchid. Stopped mowing two years ago. Let’s hope the numbers increase in the coming years.

Just joined from the other place. Like many others I found the other place seemed to filled with anti-science and conspiracy driven tweets. Looking forward to finding old friends on here.
