Cultivating Beauty: Devoted Centre County Gardeners Share a Passion for Growing – and Giving - State College News

Jan Musser grew up in the city of Wilkes-Barre with a backyard of blacktop. Today, her backyard on the border of Autumnwood Park in State College is a local landmark, brimming with an abundance of flowers. “[Growing up], my grandfather lived a block away, and he was first-generation European, and in Europe, they have very small yards, but they make use of them,” says Musser. “They don’t plant grass – they plant gardens. My grandfather’s backyard was heaven. It had every kind of fruit tree, every flower – as many as he could pack in the yard.” After school as a child, Musser would join her grandfather in the garden. “I give all my credit to my grandfather, who taught me every plant, every tree, every everything about plants,” Musser says. “I was his tree climber, who climbed up the tree and threw down the apples, and he would catch them and put them in the baskets.” Musser and her husband sold their 13-acre farmette in State College and when they moved to their current home, the property had ornamental trees, but no flowers. “I said, ‘Well this is great – a blank canvas,’” Musser says. “So I proceeded to make my five-year plan: Because of aging, I wanted to get everything in the ground within five years, and then in case I couldn’t garden anymore, I could enjoy it. I’ve been here 10 years this year, and I can’t even begin to stop.” Musser is a generous gardener, planting for pollinators and for p...

Community Garden Needs Volunteers - - State College News

The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is seeking volunteer garden stewards for its community garden in State College. Click photo for gallery Are you feeling the urge to plant something and watch it grow? This is the time of year when would-be gardeners have scoured the seed catalogues for ideas and may have placed their orders already. Flower lovers long for the soil to be thawed and warm enough to accept a trowel. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is seeking volunteer garden stewards for its community garden in State College, at the intersection of College Avenue and University Drive. Lynn McGuire-Olzak, volunteer coordinator for the Western PA Conservancy (WPC), said, "We need volunteers. We operate with as many as 12,000 volunteers a year to plant and care for our 132 gardens. We usually start planting around the first of May. Volunteers typically work for three to four hours to plant the garden. Later in the summer, the volunteers handle the pruning, watering and weeding to keep the gardens healthy and blooming into the fall." WPC is s...

Dr. Emery Deserves All the Flowers While She Can Smell Them - Afro American

Louisiana. The deep South's loss was Baltimore's great gain. She attended what was then Morgan State College where she earned a master's degree in education and she attended Temple University in Philadelphia and was awarded a doctorate degree in education. Her list of accomplishments and contributions to the Greater Baltimore community is too long to list here; that is why a veritable who's who (including Mayor Pugh, Rev. Dr. A.C.D. Vaughn and AFRO Publisher Emeritus Jake Oliver, among many others) of our city stopped by the Forum to give bouquets of flowers to Dr. Emery while she can smell them. These are the objective facts. However, my objectivity ends as far as Dr. Emery is concerned when it comes to her work as principal of Walbrook High School in West Baltimore. Sean Yoes (Courtesy Photo) Dr. Emery was a vice-principal of Lemmel Junior High just up the street from where I was raised. But, Walbrook was the house that Dr. Emery built and that school changed my life. I entered Walbrook in the 10th grade in 1980. For the record, Dr. Emery had officially left the school as principal the previous year, but clearly she had laid an incredible foundation prior to her exit and she left an outstanding high school in her wake. My sister and I had moved back into the city from Baltimore County with our father, the summer before my sophomore year; I had struggled some academically in the ninth grade; it was a tumultuous time for me. My d...

Sweet smell of success for Daytona's Zahn's Flowers

Mihalko, 29.“It’s literally the exact same story,” Mihalko said. “I had enrolled at DBCC (now Daytona State College) and we were doing financial aid. Mom said, ‘Why don’t you just stay for a year? I need someone I can trust.’”That was in 2006.“I couldn’t imagine myself being anyplace else in the world,” Mihalko said. “I love the business aspect of it, dealing with the customers. There are people who knew my grandmother and now they know me and my daughter.“Recently, we realized that my grandmother had done (flowers for) someone’s wedding and now, we’re doing her granddaughter’s wedding 40 years later.”'Different and extraordinary'Voegtle, meanwhile, is less sentimental about a business that has become harder to sustain in the era of online shopping and big-box retailers.“The internet has killed us,” said Voegtle, adding that 90 percent of online orders are based on photographs that can’t always be duplicated exactly because of available inventory and other issues. “It’s hard to make people happy, but it is rewarding when people call and say that you did.”The key to the shop’s success is a more old-fashioned approach that has yielded an army of loyal, repeat customers, such as Judee McKernan of Daytona Beach, a regular customer for close to 30 years.“You explain what you want, and somehow Emily and her staff know exactly what it is,” said McKernan, owner of Designs Furnishings & Equipment, Inc., a Daytona Beach commercial restaurant supply company that has been in business since 1974. “I have gotten so many compliments when people have received these arrangements through the years about how different and extraordinary they are.”Dr. Sergio Zamora, a Daytona Beach plastic and reconstructive surgeon, is another longtime customer, typically placing multiple orders weekly, according to Joanne Lesick Zase, his assistant office manager.“When we have surgical patients, he (Zamora) likes to help them get better by sending them flowers,” Zase said. “Also, he sends flowers personally when there’s a special occasion in his family. We’ve been ordering from them for more than 15 years because of the level of integrity that they show in the work that they produce.”Working the phone, Voegtle is the one to call customers on the eve of some romantic occasion with a timely reminder that flowers make a perfect gift.“I know it’s easier to get on the internet, but I pick up the phone before a holiday, talk to my customers,” Voegtle said. “'Do you want to order your Valentine’s Day flowers?’”That attention to detail is essential for any small business to survive, said James Miller, communications director for the Florida Retail Federation, the Tallahassee-based organization that tracks data and trends among the state’s shoppers and retailers.“A shop like that, to last that long, would have to be providing incredible customer service to have people coming back again and again,” Miller said. “Also, it sounds like they have changed with the times. It may be frustrating at times but at least they have embraced the internet part of retail. The internet part is not going away; it’s just going to continue to grow.”After all this time, Voegtle embraces family most of all.“The best thing is that I get to work with my family,” Voegtle said, gesturing toward her daughter on the phone with a customer. “I love being able to have my own business and do things with her.”...
