Two Connecticut women are credited with starting a movement that encourages people to let their lawns grow and help area pollinators.

Two Connecticut women have started an environmental movement that calls for letting your grass grow.

They say a messy yard with leaves, brush and weeds gives insects and birds a place to gather and transfer pollen to help the ecosystem thrive, even in towns and cities. After signing up online, you can purchase a butterfly marker to let your neighbors know why your yard might not look picture perfect.
