Welcome to Unity Gardens. We are excited about the power of native plants! Our mission is to educate diverse Anne Arundel County communities to create and sustain ecological spaces that enhance life—one native garden at a time.
About Us: Unity Gardens Inc., a Maryland 501c3, awards grants up to $3,000 to nonprofits in Anne Arundel County to promote conservation landscaping using native plants. We fund volunteer-led projects with HOAs, faith-based organizations, and others who use native plants to address and remedy stormwater runoff, pollution, and habitat loss.
Since being founded in 2003, Unity Gardens has provided more than $650,000 to fund close to 700 native plant gardens. In 2025 alone, our grantees’ projects added more than 42,000 square feet of native habitat, almost entirely through the efforts of volunteers.
