My lawn wasn't cut this summer - and it started to teem with life

Sometime during this past summer, the electric mower broke down, and our lawn wasn't cut for a really long period - and it was great!

The small plot of lawn was quickly filled with flowers and various grass species. And it started to teem with life. First with lots of butterflies, bees, and insects. Then we noticed how more and more small birds came to visit. I guess to hunt for food and play around in the long grass. Even a hedgehog came to visit us most nights!

It's amazing how little effort was required to bring back nature and wild life. :)

The photo below shows how it looked just after a couple of days without moving the lawn.
