Archive, April 2022: The locations and council plans below relate to that year. See Plantlife for current No Mow May information.

In 2022, High Peak Borough Council announced that selected green spaces would be left uncut during No Mow May to support wildflowers and pollinators.

Its announcement named Temple Fields, Gadley Wood and Fairfield Road in Buxton, Roughfields in Hadfield and Spring Street in Glossop. The council and its grounds maintenance partner, Alliance Environmental Services, planned to let the selected areas grow throughout May.

Executive councillor Jean Todd described the importance of pollinators and encouraged residents to join the campaign at home. The council also promoted Plantlife’s 2022 Every Flower Counts survey, which invited people to count flowers in a square metre of lawn.
