About Planet Wimborne

Green News

Planet Wimborne now has a regular ‘Green News’ slot on Radio Wimborne’s Monday Brunch show, hosted by Glen Fowler and Malcolm Angel, between 10 and 11am. Please let us know if you wish to appear on the show to share what you do and if you have any events/projects you wish to promote.  The next opportunity is on Monday 18th May and every 2 weeks thereafter.


No Mow May

No Mow May is one of the easiest ways to help and connect with wildlife, and the perfect way to start supporting nature in your garden (in May and beyond!).

If you want to encourage wildflowers in your lawn, try No Mow May. As the name suggests, you simply stop mowing in early May, which allows the wild plants already in your lawn to grow up and flower, adding colour and attracting pollinating insects and other wildlife. You can leave your whole lawn uncut or just a section.

For more information, see https://www.plantlife.org.uk/campaigns/nomowmay/


Planet Wimborne aims to bring the community in Wimborne and surrounding areas together in response to the climate and ecological emergency.
