No Mow May becomes Mow Soon June

The benefit of not mowing during the spring provided us with drifts of white flowers where the ground was wet, as well as new trees throughout the grass. We saw the same white flowers along the path in the arboretum and after searching online, we wondered if they were cuckoo flowers. The tree seedlings we've found so far include what we believe is a crab apple, a birch and several red oaks! Hope this inspires other households to enjoy a meadow for the month of May in 2022!
