Lancaster County Garden Club is grateful for the opportunity to showcase Zanfel product samples. At our March meeting's 'Show Table,' the Zanfel exhibit was a standout, attracting considerable interest from the over 80 members who attended. Each member received a sample, pamphlet, and instructions, and a show of hands revealed that only 5 had prior experience with the product, all of whom spoke highly of it. Zanfel stops the itch of poison ivy, oak, and sumac. THANK YOU ZANFEL!!

Our meetings are open to the public and usually on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7PM; Look for our scheduled speakers on our website or here on Facebook and please plan to join us!

Susanna R. Brill

Herb Professional*Clinical Herbalist*Down Home Herbalist*Consultant*Enthusiast*Teacher
Susanna Reppert-Brill, the youngest of her four girls and husband David Brill operate The Rosemary House. Susanna grew up living and knowing the herb business and gardens with her mother. Susanna came to The Rosemary House everyday after school where she had a little desk for her crayons, papers and homework. She would listen to her mother answer endless questions and absorbed the herbal knowledge along with her milk and cookies. Eventually she worked after school and on Saturdays always willing to join in the herbal fun her mom created. After graduating from Penn State University, she became manager of The Rosemary House. Susanna has continued to develop her herbal knowledge of all the amazing and practical uses of plants.

She has also completed a Herbal Medicine course at David Winston’s Herbal Therapeutics School of Botanical Medicine. Susanna attended this herbal training due to the increasing number of questions on the medicinal use of herbs she was receiving as the manager of The Rosemary House. With now close to 4 decades in the herbal business, Susanna’s love of herbs and their many uses shines through. Susanna is the secondary practitioner at The Rosemary House. She is the one most likely to answer your “quick question” on the phone or in the store but is also available for appointments for full personal consultation. Susanna is a sixth generation herbalist dating back to a German Herb Doctor, who worked in Poland, and will now be passing her knowledge onto the seventh generation, her son Cedar and daughter Angelica.

Susanna will have some teas for sale at the meeting.

Consider bringing your favorite teapot or teacup for the show table. If you're feeling creative, you might even use the pot or cup as a vase for an arrangement of winter greens or blooms.

We are beginning to take registrations for the April 14 banquet, and someone will be at the registration tables to take your checks! The price is the same as last year: $55 for members and $60 for nonmembers.

This month's speaker

Mail Order Garden Shopping from a Plant Collector's Point of View

Presented by Ed Lyon

Moving from Madison, Wisconsin, where specialty nurseries were common, to central Iowa where unique plants are hard to find in garden centers, pushed speaker Ed Lyon to explore mail order
shopping more seriously. There are sources for every possible plant group but not all are equal when it comes to size, quality, price, and shipping. In this presentation Ed will discuss the considerations
associated with mail-order shopping and the companies he recommends from personal experience. The audience is encouraged to share their experiences as well. Be it annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, bulbs, water plants, tropicals, cactus, etc., some specimens can be hard to find and may best be available through mail order sources.

Ed Lyon is a retired professional horticulturist and gardener with 25 years experience in the public garden field and dirt under his nails from intensive personal gardening. He most recently served as Director of Reiman Gardens, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, a position from which he retired in May 2024. He was formerly Director, Allen Centennial Gardens, Madison, Wisconsin. His public garden career includes serving as Symposia & Special Programs Coordinator for Chicago Botanic Garden, Director of Education for Olbrich Botanical Gardens, and Executive Director for the Rotary Botanical Gardens. Through Spellbound Garden Writing & Consultation, he writes and speaks for both public and professional audiences. He has written a book called "Growing the Midwest Garden" for Timber Press, released May, 2015.

He has written the “Ask the Expert” column for Wisconsin Gardening magazine as well as feature articles plus a regular regional report on southern Wisconsin for Chicagoland Gardening plus feature articles for State-by-State Gardening magazine. He continues to write for Fine Gardening and occasionally other national magazines. He teaches, lectures, and has served as featured/keynote speaker for a number of conferences. He developed on-line multi-class tutorials on garden design for Garden Gate Magazine and on shade gardening for Fine Gardening magazine. The links and sample videos are included on his website: spellboundgarden.org
