SUMMARY: Easter egg hunts bring joy to children, especially with hidden eggs in un-mowed lawns adorned with spring wildflowers. The author recalls waiting to mow their lawn until after Easter, using the tall grass as cover for eggs. This Easter, they encourage others to appreciate the wildflowers that bloom during this season and consider allowing their lawns to grow freely, creating “no-mow zones” that support pollinators. Such spaces not only add beauty but also benefit the ecosystem. The author invites families to engage in an Easter Nature Hunt, discovering the charm of wildflowers alongside the traditional activities.
