One of my favorite things to do each Spring is to purchase dozens of tree seedlings and wholesale perennials and replant different areas of our community. It is so important for our future and is really rewarding to revisit your previous efforts. This Spring Lancaster Co. Conservation District is conducting its 38th Annual Tree Seedling Sale. An order form on their website describes all the available species and pricing. Pickup date is on April 12th at the Farm & Home Center, 1388 Arcadia Rd.,Lancaster. Hardwood tree seedlings sell for as little as $1.25 per tree and the conifers sell in bundles at about .70 cents per seedling ! Additionally it appears perennials are under $3 !

Orders are being taken now through March 12th. To get an order form call 717-299-5361,ext.5 or visit their website - www.lancasterconservation.org . I'm planning my order to replant a hill where all trees were leveled causing some soil erosion. What you plant today will enrich others future ! See you there !

The Power of Social Media

The Power of Social Media

I discovered first hand the power of social media. I recently posted on facebook that my daughter was looking for a job. To my amazement, there were The Power of Social Mediaresponse with at least 4 job possibilities and in 1 case, the sender called the person looking to hire and sent us his number.

I have heard and do realize the power and influence of social media. But this was the first time I actually experienced its power personally. The effects of this network were remarkable. All 4 of the leads came from folks I know and who know me, but we speak face to face less than one time per year, if even that. I would never have called, mentioned or referred to my daughter needing a job had we talked face to face.

How do you feel about social media? Are you embracing it? As with all cultural shifts, there is good and bad to what is occurring. If social media prevents you from having face to face conversations with the people right in front of you, then it has become detrimental. But in the case of my example, the positive side of social media is great.

The reality of social media has helped me reconnect to friends I have not seen for years. I have learned more about family and interest than I would have in a 10 minute conversation. It has been invaluable in my business. I do enjoy it, but have had to find ways that it does not rule my life.

My daughter was offered a job through this referral network. It was wonderful. The irony is it forced her to decide whether to take the job or to move closer to a friend in upstate New York. She has opted to move to New York. As parents, we encouraged her to do this.

Have you experienced the power in social media?
