Around 2012, Mr. O’Rourke began emailing the homeowner association, complaining that the Crouches’ yard was overgrown with weeds, figurines and barrels filled with rainwater, claims the couple would later contest. Mr. O’Rourke couldn’t enjoy his own property, he wrote, due to the “mess of a jungle” next door. According to the National Wildlife Federation, in 2020 there was a 50 percent increase in people creating wildlife gardens certified by the organization.
“I think to win, it’s your defense, your rebounding and keeping your turnovers down. That puts you in position to win,” Thibodeau said after Sunday’s three-point win over the Pacers. “And if we keep doing what we’re doing offensively — we’re creating rhythm for each other — we’re gonna score plenty of points. In the end, the Crouches spent $60,000 on lawyers fees, but they say it was worth it. This fall, with the new law backing them up, the Crouches let their dead coneflowers, sunflowers and other perennials stand. Mr. Crouch awoke one frigid morning this November to find six birds on the stalks, feasting on the seeds.

After a year and a half, still at an impasse with the homeowner association and fearful that one day they’d come home to find their garden mowed down, they filed a complaint in Howard County Circuit Court. A chief claim was that in 2011 they’d been told there was no issue with their gardens, and also that before 2017, they’d received no violations for their yard despite regular inspections. Still, native gardeners wanting to “naturescape” often face pushback from homeowner associations, whose primary interest is to protect home values by ensuring a consistent appearance across property lines. Associations can dictate everything from house paint colors to the location of driveway basketball hoops. They’d lived on their quiet cul-de-sac harmoniously with their neighbors for years, and chose native plants to help insects, birds and wildlife thrive. Now the association was telling them that their plantings not only violated the bylaws, but were eyesores that hurt property values.

Dozens of states have passed legislation to promote the health of pollinators, which include bees, wasps, bats and butterflies, while some have curbed the authority of homeowner association edicts during droughts. Generally these associations are tasked with making sure that yards are maintained, but there are growing questions about what exactly that means. The Crouches were given 10 days to convert their front yard into a lawn that looked like everyone else’s. But instead of doing what they were told, the couple fought back, and ended up paving the way for a groundbreaking state law. She shot the campaign in the garden of her house in New York and wore 14 new different pieces – alongside seven updated lingerie sets from the company.

Thibodeau said the team has been striving for consistency in its approach and play regardless of locale, and he’s stressed not dwelling on past games, win or lose. We were on the road for almost a week, playing a team that we’re fighting with for playoff position and to hang onto a win on the road is tough,” Randle said, who then was asked for the secret to the Knicks’ road success. Brunson averaged 27.3 points per game on the three-game trip, including his second 30-point game on Sunday.

Maryland has contended with devastating floods — among them the 2018 submersion of Ellicott City — and mounting concerns about pesticide runoff to Chesapeake Bay. A bill was drafted that forbade homeowner associations from banning pollinator plants or rain gardens, or from requiring property owners to plant turf grass. After their homeowner association ordered them to replace their wildlife-friendly plants with turf grass, a Maryland couple sued. They hired a lawyer and contacted every wildlife and environmental group they could think of, along with local legislators.
