@DeanEades @NatGeo Hi Dean, 1 male calling in Chambers Farm Woods first time today.

[Mark Schofield @markdschofield]

Striking the vital balance between wildlife and communities in public green spaces. First piece in tonight's One Show. #NoMowMay @Love_plants https://t.co/n6N8rxADV8

@DanicaPriest @BBCRadio4 @DanicaPriest Complex and rhetorical questions well fielded. You held true to the mitigation hierarchy, you helped the listener refocus from the Times calculus and extended magnanimity towards the argument for affordable housing. Don't hesitate to connect with us. @Love_plants

An exciting conversation is starting about #golfandbiodiversity here in Paris at the Maison de l' Océan this morning. @Love_plants is keen to contribute. Really encouraged to hear the sustainability ambitions of the international golfing community and progress so far. @RandA

@Hamish4Lincs @Love_plants @LincolnLabour Thanks for making time on day 3 of your tenure, @Hamish4Lincs!

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.

[Hamish Falconer MP @HFalconerMP]

Please get in touch on [email protected] if I can help.

Big thanks to Sarah Wilson. Her podcast is an excellent resource for gardeners. A great opportunity to offer info and support to those who want to welcome more lawn wildlife!

[North Kesteven District Council @NorthKestevenDC]

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.

🥀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!
