Ottawa Now - What is 'No Mow May'?

May 14, 2026

If you keep your ear close to the grapevine, and you follow a gardening Facebook group, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of ‘No Mow May’. But what is the method to all this madness?

Kristy Cameron picks the brain of gardening expert Carson Arthur on today's Ottawa Now.
