BALTIMORE -- Jack Trimper has a list of all the native plants that grow in his yard — evening primrose, milkweed, fleabane — all scrawled in careful cursive, one below the other.
Each one emerged in earnest after Trimper started participating in “No Mow May.” For the month, he decided to let his yard grow wild, as part of a global movement aiming to create niches within once-carefully groomed cities and suburbs for early season pollinators and other wildlife.
He installed a hand-painted yard sign featuring the slogan, “No Mow May” with the words “for the bees.”
