Cape Town’s nomow initiative lets certain parks and roadside spaces grow wild from July to November, allowing native wildflowers to bloom and pollinators like bees and butterflies to thrive. This peaceful pause from mowing creates colorful, buzzing habitats right in the city, connecting nature pockets and helping endangered plants and animals survive. It also invites the community to watch, learn, and care for the unique Fynbos plants that make the Cape Floral Kingdom so special. This simple act turns urban green spaces into lively, beautiful places full of life and hope.
