About Meristem Communities

What in the world does Meristem…mean? We’re asked that a lot. Is it a person’s name, is it a flower? Present in all plants, the meristem is an area capable of indefinite cell division, growth, differentiation, and healing. You’ll usually find meristems in actively growing shoots and roots. So, the short answer? The meristem is the leading edge of growth.

Clayton Garrett and Scott Snodgrass are the Founders and Partners of Meristem Communities. (They’re also farmers.) In designing Indigo, they envisioned a place made for people first, prioritizing equity and diversity. Neighborhoods that mend—and maintain—naturally forming community bonds. Humans need a wide range of social and environmental interactions to be happy and healthy, and these interactions have to be an organic, everyday part of the community. Meristem—and its community Indigo—reflects this ideal.

Meristem knows we don’t have to pave over paradise to create community; it can be done in any place at any scale. And we’re starting that here in Indigo.

Meristem embraces Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and ensures that a diverse range of voices actively contribute to Indigo's development. They are exploring equity programs to gain a better understanding of their homebuyers challenges, and want to do their part to support an equitable homebuying process in Indigo.

 

 

Workshops

The residents of Indigo can help shape the future of our neighborhoods and communities, usually over pizza. We’ll be hosting community workshops where you can bring your background, cultural experiences, and suggestions to the table. Coming soon, so watch this space.
