Rethink the Lawn With Mary Phillips - A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach - April 29, 2024

You’ve probably heard the expression No Mow May in recent years, a campaign borrowed from an effort in the UK meant to increase diversity by leaving lawns unmown for the one spring month, but is that the answer for US gardeners?  My guest today is Mary Phillips, head of native plant habitat strategy and certifications at the National Wildlife Federation, a conservation nonprofit founded in 1936 with chapters today in every state. Our topic is the lawn and how we can manage it in the smartest ways possible—and not just in the month of May.
