From Richmond Magazine:
The contributions Arents made provided the foundations for Oregon Hill’s St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and its tuition-free school; the William Byrd Community House; and the Grace Arents School, now Open High. She sponsored the construction of the Lewis Ginter Community Building for Ginter Park and developed Bloemendaal Farm as a rural retreat for sickly youth. The farm became Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, which this spring celebrates its 25th anniversary.
