    Visit to The Whitney Plantation {Part 2}

    17 July 2022 / 0 Comments

    These are the names of the enslaved people who lived and worked at the Whitney Plantation. Seeing their names and reading their birth dates humanized them. It’s one thing to have this idea but to see tangible proof of their existence is a whole new thing. ABOUT THE WHITNEY PLANTATION The Whitney Plantation is located in Edgard, Louisiana, and has the distinction of being the only former plantation site in Louisiana that focuses on slavery. Originally known as Habitation Haydel, the Whitney Plantation was founded in 1752 by Ambroise Haydel, one of many German immigrants who colonized the river parishes in the 18th century. Habitation Haydel remained with his family…

    Hey, how are ya? Things are going well I’m my side. I haven’t been up to much… I added some new plant babies to the family {you can see them here, here, and here}. I keep trying, y’all. I’m not good with plants but I love them so much. They remind me of my dad — he kept our house full of plants when we were kids — and I’ve been missing him so much lately. This time around, I’m taking the time to learn about my plants and figure out what they need. I’m following several plant parents on Instagram as well {that’s where I got the idea to…
