Conservationist of the Year
For using land wisely so as to preserve it for future generations, Greenstreet Growers is Anne Arundel Soil Conservation District’s 2015 Conservationist of the Year. Greenstreet Growers has been at the forefront of agriculture in South County since 2000, growing bedding annuals and perennials in commercial greenhouses for both retail and wholesale customers. In those years it has installed soil-saving, pollution-reducing innovations including grassed waterways, heavy-use area protections, irrigation management systems, pond and roof runoff structures.
Co-owner Ray Greenstreet serves on the Maryland Agriculture Council and was appointed by Gov. Larry Hogan to the Maryland Agricultural Commission.
