Holly Beach Farm (Annapolis, Maryland)
United States of America -- Maryland -- Anne Arundel County -- Annapolis
Scope and Contents:
The folders include worksheets, photocopies of garden tour descriptions of the property, and other information.
General:
Located on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, Holly Beach Farm was the home of the Labrot family, originally from Louisiana, and active in horseracing circles. The Labrots purchased the property around 1900, and in 1907 built a Georgian-style mansion designed by architect Douglas H. Thomas, Jr. The extensive grounds were landscaped with expansive lawns and garden borders that stretched down to the bayshore. Unique features included a pergola and gazebo done in a rustic work style. The house, which has recently been restored, was sold by the family in 1994, while much of the land was transferred to the State of Maryland in 1944 to create Sandy Point State Park. A more recent land transfer has protected 300 additional acres, which are now under the aegis of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Most of the images in this collection were taken by Thomas W. Sears around 1914, shortly after the gardens were first developed. It is likely that Sears was the landscape architect responsible for designing this job.
Persons associated with the property include Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Labrot (former owners (ca. 1900-1930); Mr. and Mrs. William H. Labrot (former owners, ca. 1930-1950); Douglas H. Thomas, Jr. (architect, 1907); and Thomas W. Sears (landscape architect, 1914).

Place:
Reed Creek Farm (Centreville, Maryland)
United States of America -- Maryland -- Queen Anne's County -- Centreville
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of articles and books concerning the house and property's colonial history, and an article and write-up of the current garden's history.
General:
Reed Creek Farm is a historic property comprised of 190 acres with an 18th century Colonial mansion site located on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The walled garden, designed by former owner Marcia R. Simmons along with landscape architect Barbara Paca (ASLA), complements the style of the house and was inspired by the gardens at Hadspen, an 18th century country estate in England. The color scheme emphasizes apricot and periwinkle flowers using plant material appropriate to the location. A tall brick wall and gates designed by Philip Logan protect the garden from strong winds off the Chesapeake Bay and keep animals out. Work was started in 2000 by defining geometric flower beds that are connected by goosefoot paths. The beds are planted in perennial and annual flowers, including lilies, lavender, crocosmia, scabiosa, hibiscus, peonies and roses. Flowers and flowering shrubs are planted densely in the beds to create an English cottage garden effect and to reduce the intrusion of weeds.
The walled garden extends from one side of the main house and two formal kitchen gardens hedged with boxwood sit in front of the house. A folly outside the walled garden was built from soil that was removed to install French drains, and was planted with lavender and poppies along a winding path that leads to a curved bench at the summit. The view from the folly includes Chesapeake Bay and the agricultural fields and orchards that comprise the rest of the property.
Former owner and garden designer Marcia R. Simmons (d. 2006) was interred in the garden wall. The garden is being maintained in her memory.
Landscape designer Barbara Paca owns the design firm Preservation Green; architect Philip Logan works at the firm.
Persons associated with the garden include Solomon Wright (1655-1717, patented and surveyed land, 1685); Colonel Thomas Wright (builder of house, circa 1775); members of the Wright family (former owners, 1685 -1960); Bradford Smith family (former owners, 1960-1996); Marcia and Raymond Simmons (former owners, 1996-2004); Barbara Paca, PhD., ASLA (landscape architect, 1999-present); Philip Logan (designer of wall and gate, 1999-2000); Marcia R. Simmons (garden designer, 1999-2006); Jeff Beall (caretaker of garden, 1986-present).
