Native Plant Kit Sale Posted
To help nurture more watershed-friendly properties, Penn State Extension will offer Master Watershed Steward Watershed-Friendly Native Plant Kits for sale through Sunday, July 13.
The kits are designed to help individuals incorporate more native plants into their property. The pickup locations will include sites in Lancaster, York, Berks, and Chester counties.
The kits contain plant plugs carefully selected from species grown by Kind Earth Grower using locally collected, open-source pollinated seeds and 50% peat-free growing media. Plant plugs are smaller than those typically found in nurseries, allowing for easier transportation and planting within existing vegetation. The plugs have healthy root systems that should establish this fall so plants can flourish next growing season.
The kit options are the Sunny Dry Bottoms Kit and the Shady Dry Bottoms Kit for drier-soil areas; the
Individuals can help create watershed-friendly properties with native plant kits from Penn State Extension.
Deer-Resistant Kit; and the Groundcover Kit, which contains low-growing plants that will spread, helping to retain soil moisture and block unwanted seeds from soil contact. Single-species kits are also available this year, including native sedges for patches of lawn replacement. All kit options are available in two kit sizes. Bountiful Kits include five species with five individual plants of each species, for a total of 25 plants. Container Kits include five species with one plant of each species, for a total of five plants.
Individuals may choose
their kit and select the pickup location most convenient to them. Proceeds will support the Master Watershed Steward program in providing volunteer-driven education and restoration work in the region.
More information about the plant kit sale is available at https://bit.ly/ NativePlantKits.
Penn State Extension also offers the opportunity to earn the Master Watershed Steward watershed-friendly certification in collaboration with Nurture Nature Center. Native plants are woven throughout the certification criteria.
1 to 4 p.m. The closing reception, including the presentation of awards, is slated for Sept. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Visitors can vote for award winners by buying ballots, which will also serve as an entry into a drawing to be held at the end of the show. The person with the winning ticket will receive Herr’s painting “Shade Tree Garden Shed.”
Herr estimated it took 35 hours to complete the oil-on-linen work. “We’re always looking for ways to fundraise,” she said. “I thought if we were going to charge for the ballots, it would be nice to give away the painting at the end.”
An award-winning artist, Herr is a native of the Buck in East Drumore Township. She graduated from the York Academy of Art and studied at the Art Students League in New York City. Her contemporary impressionistic landscape paintings have
appeared in local and national exhibits.
In addition to choosing a favorite artist, voters will select their favorite medium from three categories: oil and acrylic; watermedia, which includes watercolor, tempera, gouache, or mixed media made up of water-based media; and other media and 3D, which includes pastel, drawing, encaustics, printmaking, sculptures, ceramics, wood, jewelry, and glass.
There will be five chances for artists to bring their works to the LCAA, with each occasion having a theme. Thursday, July 10, to Sunday, July 13, will be for waterworks, subjects that depict water in any form. On Thursday, July 24, to Sunday, July 27, the LCAA will accept “red-hot subjects,” meaning an item that includes the color red or things that are hot. The theme for Thursday, Aug. 7, to Sunday, Aug. 10, is “field of dreams”; works
should feature fields and farms or baseball-related subjects. Anything goes for the final drop-off dates on Thursday, Aug. 21, to Sunday, Aug. 24.
This competition is open to artists 17 years of age and older. There is a small entry fee per piece. LCAA membership is not required. Artists decide if their works are for sale. LCAA receives a 30% commission for each sale. Works must conform to LCAA exhibition guidelines and must be 55 inches or smaller in any direction.
Artists can enter between one and four pieces at each drop-off theme. Works may be picked up Saturday, Sept. 6; Sunday, Sept. 7; and Thursday, Sept. 11, through Sunday, Sept. 14.
There will also be a Children and Teen Edition with the theme “What I Did This Summer!” and two age groups: 7 to 12 and 13 to 16. Drop-offs may be made during regular LCAA hours, Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. The entry deadline is Aug. 24. There will also be awards presented in the these categories.
Go to www.lcaaonline.org for more information about the Lancaster County Art Association.
“It’s a beautiful facility to encourage the arts,” said LCAA publicity chair Patricia Keller. “We always have beautiful works of art here, and we like for people to come out and appreciate what’s here. It’s a golden treasure.”

Reading Railroad Days Planned
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will highlight the Reading Railroad during Reading Railroad Days on Wednesday, July 2, to Sunday, July 6, and Wednesday, July 9, to Saturday, July 12. Reading Railroad Days will take place during regular museum hours and be included in the regular museum admission.
A detailed HO-scale model train layout of the Reading Railroad, operated by members of the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society, is a centerpiece in the museum’s climate-controlled Rolling Stock Hall. Visitors also may view Reading Company equipment from the museum’s collection, including the 107-year-old tank engine No. 1251, multiple unit commuter car No. 800, Crusader observation car No. 1, and the 187-year-old Rocket steam locomotive. Artist
Peter A. Lerro Jr. will display and sell his original railroad paintings and reproductions. In its heyday, the Reading Company was a multifaceted industrial giant. Originally established as the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad in 1833 to transport anthracite coal, the 94-mile line evolved into a large corporation serving eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Operations included coal mining, iron making, canal and sea-going transportation, and shipbuilding. With its complex of shops for locomotive and car building and repair, as well as constant advances in railroad technology, the company held a position of leadership in the railroad industry for over a century.
