Last year a number of parishioners joined in with “No Mow May” where we let the grass and wildflowers grow, even in tiny areas of lawn. This year we’ve repeated it. What a difference it has made! The beautiful little wildernesses have attracted many more invertebrates, especially winged varieties. Even in cities, these oases of life attract tiny visitors and create a sort of land bridge to connect different parks and wild areas and link up with the surrounding countryside. Staring at the long grass and flowers and listening to the hum of contented insect life within gives a sense of wonder for the created world on our doorsteps.

Here’s an idea for next year. Why not consider Rosary Meditations in a wildflower garden?
