About

A small crew that plants for the water

Janet Merritt started Merritt Native Gardens to plant Annapolis yards with what already grows around the Bay, and to give the rain that lands on a roof somewhere to go.

Janet designs every garden and works in the beds. Abril Quezada leads the planting crew, and Diego Olmos digs, hauls and plants. Whoever walks your lot at the site visit is one of the people who will plant it.

  • Woman-owned

  • Three people, on site for every job

  • Plants native to the Mid-Atlantic
