Holly Haven Inc.
94
At the age of 79, Elizabeth C. White set out to establish what would become her final passion project Holly Haven Inc. Her objective was to initiate a rekindled interest in the holly - inviting the public to take advantage of her years of searching and experimenting by including the select species offered for use in home gardens.
The American holly was not the sole product of Holly Haven Inc. nursery. Other select species of evergreen shrubs as well as blueberry cultivars, bearberry, and Franklinia were offered.
James A. Fenwick Letter Collection
97
This is a collection of letters written by James Fenwick, Elizabeth White's maternal grandfather, and were written between 1840 and 1882. The letters are addressed to Fenwick's uncle, Benjamin Jones, owner of the Hanover Furnace, and then addressed to his cousin, Andrew Jones after Uncle Ben passed away. The collection also includes documents written by Elizabeth White that provide background/additional information about Fenwick and his wife, Mary Cashell Fenwick.
Janet Robbins Collection
33
Janet Robbins served as a faithful Whitesbog volunteer from the late 1980s until her death in 2014. She was an Events Coordinator and regularly recruited new volunteers with her enthusiasm, and love for Whitesbog. Her favorite project was the Suningive garden, as she was a master gardener, and it was her hope to see it brought back to its former glory.
The collection contains newspaper clippings and articles on various topics relating to Whitesbog.
A Whitesbog Preservation Trust Newsletter dated 3rd quarter 2013 was dedicated to her. Although not part of the "Janet Robbins" collection, a copy of the newsletter is included which provides great insight into Janet as a person, loyal volunteer, and her incredible contributions to Whitesbog.
