Saturday. That means a day of lawn mowers cutting the hell out of grass all over the country. Why not let it grow? Encourage wildlife or just LIFE into your garden. If not all, then at least give some of your garden back to nature. If nothing else, it saves time as you only need to cut it once a year. #rewilding #NoMowSummer
