We have never sprayed or fertilized the lawn areas. The dandelions and creepy charlies will be there whether we mow or not.

Assuming you are not spraying, the dandelions,  violets and even creeping Charlie, provide food for emerging native bees and other pollinators.

All, I just learned of this yesterday. I plan to try it at home this year.  Save the pollinators!
