GreenScape
GreenScape is a volunteer effort that encourages individuals and organizations to plant and maintain flower and vegetable gardens in public spaces throughout the City. For GreenScape, the City provides plant materials, mulch, trash bags and gloves. Members of the community volunteer to make a difference in Annapolis.
The 2023 event will be held on Saturday, April 22.
Two GreenScape organizational meetings will be held (both on Wednesdays) at 6 p.m. on February 8 and March 8 at the "Pip" Moyer Recreation Center (273 Hilltop Lane, Annapolis.)
During the first meeting on February 8, Save Our Trees, a local volunteer group working to eradicate invasive English Ivy in Truxtun Park, will present on the proper way of removing and replacing the ivy with appropriate native plantings.
If you are unable to attend the meeting(s) you can download the order form on this page starting February 8. Complete the form and email it to Marisa Wittlinger at mdwittlinger@annapolis.gov.
In 2022, more than 350 people participated in GreenScape to plant 1,640 perennials, 58 trees and shrubs and 291 herbs and vegetables. Participants in GreenScape must pre-register to receive plants. Check out pictures of the 30th anniversary event!
