Merer 

Gardens were an important and essential part of royal and noble estates and were precisely planned and laid out, attended with care, and appreciated for their coolness and beauty. Born to the Lady Nefru, a Middle Kingdom noblewoman, Merer attained high status in his life as the able Overseer of the Gardens.
