Plaques are being given to people who allow wildflowers to bloom and cut down weedkiller use.
BBC NewsSomerset Wildlife Trust is giving plaques to people who allow wildflowers to bloom and cut out the use of weedkillers.
No Mow May, where gardeners do not use their lawnmowers or shears for a month, was launched by Plantlife in 2018, and has been steadily gaining traction.People can apply for a plaque by filling out a self-assessment survey on the Somerset Wildlife Trust's website with details of their garden's size and the different features they have added.
"If people are changing the way they are managing their own gardens, they are going to start changing their values about how they feel about wildlife everywhere, and that definitely does make a difference," she said.
