In data analyzed on sign-ups to No Mow May from 2025:
• The top wildest postcodes in the UK were those in East Sussex (with a TN postcode), such as Bexhill-on-Sea, Ninfield and Lunsford’s Cross. This was closely followed by East and West Sussex (a BN postcode)
• A third (32%) of households in 2025 were first-time participants, showing the movement continues to attract new audiences
• A third (29%) said they wouldn’t just manage their gardens for nature during May, but limit mowing for the whole summer.
Sarah Shuttleworth, Specialist Botanical Advisor at Plantlife, said: “We can see the blossoming support for No Mow May continues to grow – with people across the UK leaving even a few wild patches to grow in May and beyond. So whether in a city, town or the countryside, even the smallest garden can be a buzzing lifeline for wildlife.”
