No Mow May -Rewards

La Crosse recently initiated No Mow May, to help spring pollinators that are just emerging from hibernation and those that need the early blooms, in the vast amount of lawns that cover the city.. 

I was inspired by this gesture and know that even the smallest of steps in the right direction can amount to big changes. So in doing my part to keep the pollen rolling I'm giving away this painting in my own contest.

No Mow May 8x10 oil

Those that want a chance to win just need to email me at cshoreartwork@gmail.com with a story about a gesture they have taken keep our pollinators protected. I'll choose from the top entries, decided by me and draw one  random winner on July 1, 2022.

There is no winner of this painting because there were no submissions to my email. If I missed something please let me know by July 10. Thank you. No winner no responses.

My Biggest Gesture- I got rid of my lawn and let the moss grow and added plants and paths to walk around my yard. So I have a no mow home. This was particularly beneficial not just to the pollinators but a time saver for me. Since when we purchased our home I agreed to mow the lawn while my husband agreed to blow the snow off the driveway. I think I got the better deal here as well as the native insects.
