The Dandelion Challenge starts May 1!
Published on 29 Apr 2025

In order to have a significant impact on the health of pollinators, the lawns of several municipal parks and green spaces will not be mowed during the dandelion flowering period in May.
Dandelion flowers are rich in nectar and pollen, which are one of the only sources of food available to bees and other pollinating insects in spring. These insects are responsible for pollinating the plants that produce around a third of all the food we eat.
We invite you to contribute to the cause by joining the Dandelion Challenge! In May, leave the lawnmower put away and free yourself from a chore. Not only is it easy, it's free!
