Regal Business Services: Helping Growing Companies Build the Infrastructure Needed for the Next Stage of Scale For many small business owners, growth brings a paradox. The same success that drives revenue and opportunity also adds operational complexity that existing systems, processes and teams may not be equipped to handle. Reporting becomes more difficult, decisions slow and technology gaps widen. Owners spend more time managing inefficiencies and less time leading the business. A business is often its owner’s most valuable investment. Yet many companies invest heavily in growth while underinvesting in the operational infrastructure needed to sustain it.

Introducing Regal Small Business Services Regal Small Business Services was created to solve that challenge. We provide integrated ﬁnance and technology solutions built for growing businesses. Our services combine outsourced accounting and fractional CFO support with technology consulting in AI and automation, cybersecurity, business intelligence and website development. Regal Small Business Services helps growing companies strengthen their

operations as revenue increases. We primarily serve successful growthstage businesses with annual revenue between $3 million and $12 million. These companies are often at an inﬂection point: large enough to face greater complexity, but not yet large enough to maintain fully staffed internal ﬁnance and technology teams.

cybersecurity, and use business intelligence tools to make faster, smarter decisions.

As organizations grow, operational strain begins to show. Financial reporting can fall behind, manual workflows create bottlenecks, cybersecurity risks rise, and leadership teams struggle to access the timely information they need to make confident decisions. At this stage, business owners need more than additional professional support. They need integrated financial and operational infrastructure built for growth.

More than “rented experts,” our goal is to help companies build transformation systems — operational frameworks and technologies that continue creating value as the business grows.

This integration sets Regal Small Business Services apart from traditional consulting models. Instead of treating finance and technology as separate functions, the division brings them together to improve visibility, efficiency, scalability and longterm enterprise value. On the finance side, our services strengthen reporting, forecasting, budgeting, cash flow management and strategic insight. On the technology side, we help companies modernize systems, automate repetitive work, improve

Building AIEnhanced Transformation Systems

Artiﬁcial intelligence is an important part of this strategy, but the ﬁrm views it as a tool to enhance people, not replace them. For growing companies managing rising demands with limited internal resources, the gains from using AI can be substantial.

A New Wealth Management Paradigm For entrepreneurs, business value and personal wealth are intricately linked. By helping owners strengthen their companies’ ﬁnancial and operational foundations, we support stronger businesses and better long-term outcomes. If you run a growing small business and your ﬁnance and technology systems are not keeping pace, let’s talk.

A Diff Different � erent kind of DOCTOR A local physician offers real hope and proven solutions for the patients everyone else has given up on.

WRITTEN BY DR. JON YOUNGWIRTH, DO, OWNER OF RED ROSE MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE

Care Rooted in Empathy and Experience Do you ever wonder what it is that makes some doctors so incredibly compassionate while others have a bedside manner better suited for the DMV? In the case of Dr. Jon Youngwirth, DO, founder of Red Rose Medical Acupuncture in Lancaster, it is a case of true empathy. A few years ago, shortly after the birth of his second child, Dr. Jon threw out his back so severely he had to be wheeled out of his own office. “Maximum doses of Tylenol and ibuprofen did nothing for the pain,” he recalls. What finally brought him relief wasn’t another prescription or procedure. It was acupuncture. And for Dr. Jon, that moment confirmed everything he had already begun to suspect... that there was an entire world of healing his medical training had only briefly mentioned, and that the patients who needed it most were the ones being told nothing more could be done.

“I started seeing marked improvement in patients with debilitating illnesses and conditions... patients who had been everywhere, tried everything, and were told they would just have to live with it,” he shares. “I couldn’t unsee it. I couldn’t go back to practicing medicine the way I had been taught and pretend those patients didn’t exist.” Dr. Jon understands something most physicians don’t... that chronic illness isn’t just a medical problem. It’s a slow erosion of a person’s entire life. The hobbies they used to love. The grandchildren they can no longer chase. The sleep they can no longer get. The hope they slowly stopped allowing themselves to feel. “A lot of my patients have been suffering for years,” he says quietly. “They’ve seen their family doctor. They’ve seen countless specialists. They’ve had every test imaginable. And they leave each appointment feeling more dismissed than the last. By the time they ﬁnd their way to me, many of them have stopped expecting to feel better. They just want someone to ﬁnally listen.”

The Patient Nobody Else Could Help While still in medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Jon began shadowing a physician trained in acupuncture. What he witnessed changed the course of his career.

A Practice Built for the “Untreatable” Red Rose Medical Acupuncture has become known in Lancaster as the practice patients ﬁnd when they’ve run out of options. Peripheral neuropathy. Rheumatoid arthritis. Irritable bowel syndrome. Infertility. Menopause. Anxiety and depression. PTSD. Chronic pain that has no clear name and no clear answer.

— ADVERTISING FEATURE — 4 | BALANCE | June 2026

“Some folks come in and tell me, ‘I’m probably too sick or too complicated for acupuncture,’” Dr. Jon shares with a knowing smile. “And I tell them... you are exactly the patient I built this practice for.” His approach is rooted in his training as an osteopathic physician, where the body is understood as an interconnected whole rather than a collection of separate parts to be managed by separate specialists. “When you’ve seen six different doctors for six different problems and none of them are talking to each other, of course you’re not getting better,” he explains. “The body doesn’t work in silos. Neither should the care.” Real Hope, Real Results For patients suffering with peripheral neuropathy, one of the most isolating and misunderstood conditions in modern medicine, Dr. Jon has developed a comprehensive treatment approach that has produced an 89% success rate in his practice. Patients who arrived unable to feel their feet, unable to drive, unable to sleep through the night, have returned to walking, working, and living again. “There is nothing quite like watching someone realize they’re going to get their life back,” he shares. “That’s the moment I do this work for.” And what do those in his care have to say? “Dr. Jon was the ﬁrst person who didn’t brush me off,” shares one patient. “He listened to my whole story. He understood where I’d been, and he had a real plan for where we were going. After years of being told nothing could be done, that was everything.” Others have called his care “life changing,” “a miracle,” and “the answer I stopped believing existed.”

A Diﬀerent Kind of Doctor Dr. Jon doesn’t promise miracles. He promises something rarer: a physician who will look you in the eye, hear your entire story, and refuse to accept “you’ll just have to live with it” as an answer. “I know what it feels like to be in pain and feel like no one has a solution,” he says. “I’ve sat where my patients sit. That experience shaped the kind of doctor I became, and the kind of practice I built. Every patient who walks through our door deserves to feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Not processed. Not dismissed. Cared for.” For more information about Dr. Jon and the conditions he treats, visit RedRoseAcu.com. Ready to schedule? Call 717-984-6565 for a comprehensive consultation today.

Your story isn’t over. It’s just waiting for the right doctor to hear it. June 2026 | BALANCE | 5

Ways to prepare corn

Lancaster County offers lots of ways to enjoy sweet corn, from boiled or grilled ears served up at a summer picnic to elote (“Mexican street corn”) slathered with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice and chili powder at a street festival to the sweet corn ice cream serve d in summer at some area ice cream shops. “The healthiest preparations (for corn) are often the simplest,” says Joni Rampolla, dietitian with Giant Food Stores. “Gril ling, roasting, steaming or microwaving corn preserves its nutrients while allowing its natural sweetness to shine.” She offers these ideas: ✓ Grill corn and top with herbs, lime juice, or a sprinkle of cotija cheese. ✓ Add fresh kernels to salads, wraps, tacos or grain bowls. ✓ Freeze extra kernels to enjoy summer ﬂavor year-round. ✓ Pair corn with protein and healthy fats for a balanced meal.

A-MAZE-ING Corn isn’t just for eating in Lancaster County. Did you know that Lancaster County boasts a farm attraction that has been voted among the top corn mazes in the country? For three decades, the Coleman family’s Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Ronks has been inviting visitors to meander along paths within the 2 1/2 miles of its summertime Amazing Maize Maze of tall corn stalks. The maze has a different theme each year, from a cow’s head to a beehive to a cowboy boot and hat; aerial photos show the artistry from above. The farm’s Amazing Maize Maze has been voted among the top three corn mazes in the U.S. — including No. 2 last year and No. 1 in 2020 — in the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards several times. The appropriately named Cathy Kornﬁeld, a spokesperson for Cherry Crest, says this year’s patriotic maze theme, “Let Freedom Ring,” is a rerun, in honor of America’s 250th birthday. The maze opens for the season July 1. “The basis of it is the Liberty Bell, which we’re actually repeating from a maze done many years ago,” Kornﬁeld says.

That previous maze was created in conjunction with the 2003 opening of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Lancaster County boasts other businesses with corn mazes in the summer and fall, including the Country Barn, Oregon Dairy, the Amish Farm & House, Bird-in-Hand Bakery and Corn Cob Acres.

MY CORN JOURNEY I admit it: I was raised to be a corn snob. My father was a geneticist who worked in corn research when I was a little kid. I’d walk with him up and down rows of corn in research ﬁelds near Penn State. I’d squash little green aphids on the corn stalks and leave the helpful ladybugs alone — on my father’s orders — while Dad shook pollen into paper bags and clipped the bags to the top of corn stalks to pollinate the plants. Though my father eventually pivoted from corn to ﬁsh research for the remainder of his career, he still had access to seed developed by his fellow geneticists that was bred to be not just sweet but super-sweet. My father’s huge garden contained several rows of this golden treasure. Dad would pull a bunch of ears for dinner, and we’d sit on stools next to the garden, shucking away. He’d get the de-husking started with a slice of his pocket knife, and hand the ears off to us kids to take off the rest of the husk and silks. We’d rush the ears inside to the kitchen, where Mom would plunk them in a large pot of boiling water. You couldn’t get corn much fresher.

In the summer, we would sit at the family picnic table in State College, chowing down on ears of buttered corn that were nearly as sweet as candy. Dad would sometimes place different types of cooked corn on a platter, with their scientiﬁc names written on slips of paper so we could tell him which varieties we liked best. My sister still blanches and freezes summertime sweet corn from an Amish farm stand in Centre County so our family can have the summery taste of sweet corn on Thanksgiving. We were spoiled with those super-sweet riches as kids and turned into corn snobs. But I’m grateful for those memories. Fortunately, I’ve gotten past my corn snobbery. I still love to eat corn, but these days I’m as happy to steam a package of quick-frozen Birds Eye kernels in the microwave as I am to eat an ear of corn fresh from a Lancaster County farm stand. I know I’m lucky to have chosen as my home for the past 40 years an agricultural county where fresh sweet corn is so tasty and abundant.

SUMMER TIME IS

CHIMNEY SWEEP TIME! CHIMNEY SWEEPING

A cozy fire may be the last thing on your mind on a sweltering hot day, but this time of year is a good time to care for your chimney. Regular chimney sweeps and inspections are an important part of your home maintenance routine. Your chimney system works hard to vent smoke, combustion gases and other highly flammable byproducts released by burning wood, coal, or gas. If those substances build up in your chimney over time, they can cause a fire hazard and affect the air quality in your home.

CHIMNEY CAPS

A professional chimney sweep not only removes that buildup but also helps to identify any cracks, blockages or other damage before it becomes costly or dangerous.

Summer is the perfect time for a chimney sweep and inspection. Since it’s the off-season, you’ll find it easier to schedule an appointment and any necessary repairs. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can safely light that cozy fire or turn on your furnace when you feel the first nip in the air this fall. Brightside Chimney & Heating offers chimney sweeping and inspection services for homeowners in Lancaster and surrounding counties. They also specialize in installing stainless steel liners, chimneys, chimney chases and rain caps, as well as woodstoves, pellet stoves and inserts. To schedule chimney maintenance, call 717-925-7272.

Emme Dance Collective

Founders, Emily Kline Frick &Melissa Turka Kline Frick, 32, grew up in Lititz. Her mother owns Encore Dance Studio in Manheim Township, where Kline Frick now teaches. She has been dancing since she was 2. “So, dance is my life,” she says, “and always has been.”

The mission of Emme Dance Collective is to create dance that “appeals to dancers and non-dancers alike,” Kline Frick says. “We want

dancers to be inspired, but we also want your brother who’s being dragged to the performance to be like, ‘That was actually really cool.’ ”

She started Emme Dance Collective in 2018 with her friend Melissa Turka. The name Emme (pronounced to rhyme with “femme”) combines the ﬁrst two letters of their names. Kline Frick and Turka have built the collective into a company of 21 dancers organized into three tiers: paid professional company members (all with dance degrees), apprentices and trainees. Both women attended DeSales University for dance, and it was there that they fell in love with modern dance. “I always felt I was a stronger performer than I was a technician, and I felt that in modern I connected so much more with that movement versus ballet or even jazz,” Kline Frick says.

FRWRD Dance Co. Founder, Lauren Tait

Tait, 46, moved to Lititz - the home of her husband and extended family - in 2020. She started dancing at age 2, taking ballet, tap and jazz, and continued to dance recreationally through middle school. She was accepted to the Carver Center for Arts and Technology, a magnet high school in Baltimore, and her dance career was launched. In high school, Tait was introduced to modern dance and found she loved the freedom of movement and choreography. “Every day seemed new in modern dance, whereas ballet is very codiﬁed,” she says. Tait studied dance at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, on a full artist scholarship, then spent her career in the nonproﬁt sector, mainly in Maryland as executive and artistic director of the community arts organization Kinetics Dance Theatre. When Tait moved to Lititz she spent two years connecting with the local dance community before she started FRWRD. “It’s slow to grow a dance company because dance exists only in the moment that you are performing it,” she says. “It’s not like music, where you can have a recording. It’s a live art, like theater.” Tait now leads FRWRD Dance Co, a company of 16 dancers drawn from Lancaster, Reading and Harrisburg. With FRWRD, Tait says she wants to create dazzling work of great skill and high production value, but that uses relatable themes to appeal to a broad audience. “I love when I have a dad on pickup duty see a portion of a rehearsal and come up and say, ‘This is amazing!’ ” she says.

Grant Street Dance Founder, Kim Jureckson

Jureckson, 71, started taking ballet at age 3, and from childhood through high school that was her passion. Her father encouraged her to attend a liberal arts college to get a broad education, and there she was introduced to modern dance. “I just loved it,” Jureckson says. “It just felt different and freer, and it suited my body type better.” After college, she studied at the renowned Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance, taking classes with the fearsome Ms. Graham herself. Jureckson stayed in New York for years, performing and teaching ﬁtness classes, until she and her husband decided to leave New York to raise their growing family someplace quieter.

They chose Lancaster because Jureckson’s sister lives here. Jureckson founded Grant Street Dance Company as an intergenerational company, with dancers ranging from teens to people in their 70s. Last year, Grant Street partnered with The Long Community retirement home, and ﬁve women in their 80s performed alongside the company. During rehearsals, when the women were asked to sit on the ﬂoor, they would joke: “Only if you’re going to help us get back up!”

Why you should come see modern dance

Building a scene, one person at a time

To encourage people to consider attending a modern dance performance, Kline Frick suggests they tune into the dancers’ athleticism.

But what they do have is each other, a cluster of highly trained and passionate dancers who chose Lancaster speciﬁcally because they wanted to contribute to the steadily growing arts ecosystem here that is, as Williams puts it, “starting to become a hot spot.”

One of the challenges modern dance faces in getting an audience is that it doesn’t have the universally understood vocabulary of ballet: the tutus, the pointe shoes, the “Swan Lake” silhouette that everyone recognizes. It also doesn’t have the broad media presence of dance styles like hip-hop and tap.

“Watching these dancers move their bodies,” she says, “I’m continuously blown away by what they’re able to do.” If you like to watch sports, Kline Frick says, “you’ll probably like watching dance.”

The phrase each of these dancers uses to describe the dance scene in Lancaster is “grassroots.” In New York or Chicago or Philadelphia, there are decades of infrastructure, presenting organizations, critics and audiences who grew up going to dance. That deep well of infrastructure and tradition is not present here.

Tait also works to keep her choreography relatable to a wide audience. Her current piece, “Lovebug,” attracts the eye with dazzling costumes and inventive movement as the world of insects springs to life. But one of the most compelling characters in the performance is a slug. In a giant costume made of 40 pounds of hidden sandbags swathed in orange chiffon, the slug “wants to ﬂy,” says Tait, “but she’s grounded. So it’s kind of a little bit wistful and tragic.” The role of the slug is arguably the least dance-y in “Lovebug,” yet it’s the role for which Tait for gets the most feedback: Audience members say they connect with the physical limitations and struggles of the slug, expressed through dance. Williams suggests that people see a modern dance performance to dig a little deeper into all that Lancaster County has to offer. “You have your routines; you have your market days. You know where you’re going every day,” he says. “But I think with modern dance, people will experience a deeper level of reward and fulﬁllment. I think they would be like, wow, I didn’t know this was happening here.” Emmanuel Williams

Life is easy; people make it hard

FIND A WAY TO LIVE SIMPLY THROUGH

WRITTEN BY KATERINA MASLENNIKOVA, OWNER OF FRED ASTAIRE DANCE STUDIOS IN LANCASTER

Owner Ekaterina Maslennikova shares the philosophy behind Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Lancaster

red Astaire Dance Studio has been the heart of social and ballroom dancing in Lancaster for the last ﬁve years, because the philosophy we live by is one that transforms lives. We take teaching people how to dance not as a ﬁnal goal, but as a tool that helps our students to rediscover themselves, each other and day-to-day life. Life may seem complex at times, but dance can help make it simple because it mirrors reality.

Dance as a problem solver

The key to dancing is to take it step by step. When you learn a new element, you must ﬁrst become comfortable with the pattern, one foot at a time, over and over. Only after you’ve truly learned the pattern can you add the music, the arm styling, the emotional engagement that shows you’ve truly mastered it. If you try to skip learning the pattern and go straight to moving fast to the music, you will never fully get ownership of that speciﬁc dance element. This is just like problem solving. We divide something big and complex into little steps, which makes it simple, achievable and beautiful as a result. Why don’t we use this approach in life when we get slammed with unexpected issues? Yes, we want to solve them all, the faster the better. But if we just take one step at a time, wouldn’t it be easier?

Dance for relationships

Why Dance? • Look great at your wedding • Learn a new hobby • Connect with your partner • Improve your physical and emotional health • Meet new people

When it comes to relationships, communication is key. Communication is not only verbal; it has many layers, such as gestures, looks, little things we do toward one another. Sometimes in our busy lives, we lose touch with some of those layers. As a dance instructor with more than 20 years of experience, I have discovered that ballroom dance is one of the best tools to get people back in sync with each other and open new channels of communication. When it comes to communication, men and women are from two different universes, both spectacular when truly seen and understood. Not very often in life do we make an effort to dive into someone else’s universe to grasp what it is like. Learning to dance as a couple means learning to listen and hear, to look and see, to trust and feel, to let go and connect. How does that translate to real life? First, as dance partners each of you must be able to stand on your own, know your moves and understand your part. Isn’t it just like in life? Can you make someone else happy if you don’t know if you are happy yourself ? Second, you have to stick to your role. If your role is to follow and wait for action from your partner before you respond, be patient and stick to it. In life, think of it as having a conversation and waiting for your turn, instead of interrupting. Third, you have to be present. You must be right here with your thoughts, in the move with your partner. This is the only way to do it good, do it right and do it together. Fourth, don’t take it too seriously. Dancing is a journey that exists for the sake of those moments you create together, not for gold stars or other awards. Your reward will be feeling so alive together so you can say this is why living is worth it! Laugh at your mistakes and ﬁnd a way out of them together when things don’t go according to plan. Isn’t that how we should be living and overcoming challenges in life? I have a dear friend and mentor who likes to say, “Life is easy; people make it hard.” Dance is a key that can open the door to simplicity. Why not pick up the key and see what happens?

GENEROSITY through every season of life

a trust and estate specialist with Everence, Jamie Detweiler knows from experience that everyone’s goals are different — whether it’s the older husband nearing the end of life who wants his wife to be ﬁnancially secure or the mid-life parents who want to leave their child with a professionally managed inheritance to ensure it lasts a lifetime. While many associate such legacies with mortality, Everence prefers to view “legacy” by its more forward-thinking Latin root legatus, meaning an ambassador sent on a mission.

For many who work with Detweiler, that mission is part of a stewardship journey that begins decades before an end-of-life discussion — from conversations about life insurance with young parents to investment management and retirement planning in mid-life to Medicare decisions and beyond.

“We really are unique in that way,” says Detweiler, a Certiﬁed Financial Planner® professional and Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy. “We don’t just swoop in for one moment in your stewardship journey. We really shine when we serve clients through the entire life cycle of their stewardship journey.”

Estate planning is simply a natural next step, Detweiler says — an act of stewardship for the ﬁnal season of life.

Throughout that journey, Everence can help clients integrate their ﬁnancial goals with their faith and values, so they can live out their own dreams while also caring for the people and causes that are important to them.

It really is an act of love to prepare for the future.” -Jamie Detweiler

What is an estate plan? An estate plan is a set of legal documents that specify how you want to distribute the assets you’ve accumulated in life as well as financial and healthcare directives should you become incapacitated. Those documents may include: • A will that outlines the distribution of assets. • A trust, which you may set up to care for dependent loved ones, manage charitable giving or distribute assets over time rather than all at once. • A financial power of attorney, giving someone authority to make financial decisions on your behalf while you are still alive. • A healthcare power of attorney, giving someone authority to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself. • A living will that outlines your wishes for end-of-life care.

An estate plan is not a once-and-done task, Detweiler says. Plans should be revisited regularly to ensure you have the assets to fund them and that they accurately reﬂect your current life situation. For example, the will you once drafted to provide for the care of your young children will need some tweaking if those children are now grown with families of their own. How Everence can help Everence can not only help you develop a comprehensive estate plan but also act as a ﬁduciary to ensure it is carried out according to your wishes. That includes serving two main roles:

Executor: An executor carries out

the instructions in a will and settles the estate. Everence can serve as the primary executor or as a contingent if the person named in the will is unable to carry out those duties.

Trustee: If you’ve established a trust, a trustee will ensure that it is handled according to your wishes. Everence can act both as a primary trustee or a contingent.

While an estate plan often names a friend or family member to take on those roles, Detweiler says there are benefits that come with relying on the professional services of Everence. “Even if your family is close, and even if they all get along, do you want your estate settlement process to come to the Thanksgiving table?” he says. Relying on Everence to administer an estate plan allows family members to simply grieve without additional worries. There are other benefits as well. “It’s not that a private individual wouldn’t have good intentions, but when you hire somebody that does this as part of their regular job you get a level of professionalism that really makes it better for beneficiaries,” he says. That includes an understanding of complex regulatory and tax issues, quality communication and excellence that comes with experience, and professional money management that maximizes assets. And for those who have partnered with Everence to make generosity a part of their financial life and legacy through every season of life, estate planning offers the perfect opportunity to continue that giving spirit long after they are gone. “As an organization, we really lead with the idea of helping families to be charitably generous,” says Bill Hartman, vice president of Everence Asset Management. “When we do an estate plan, we make sure that the client has at least thought about charitable giving.” Charitable giving is not a prerequisite of working with Everence, but Hartman says many clients discover they have more capacity to give than they realized. “You can be generous at any level, whether you have a lot or a little,” he says. That could include a gift of real estate, which can also provide tax benefits and a steady stream of income. Or it could be setting up a family giving fund through your estate so your heirs can distribute those dollars and carry on your spirit of generosity. In the end, estate planning can be the culmination of a lifetime of love and caring for the people and causes closest to your heart, Detweiler says. “It really is an act of love to prepare for the future.”

Native Gardening SPEEDWELL

COREOPSIS OR TICKSEED BLOOMS

One Step at a Time

CORAL HONEYSUCKLE

BY SALLY REYNOLDS | PHOTOS BY VINNY TENNIS

ou’ve spent years enjoying the beauty of the plants in your garden — that glorious purple butterfly bush in summer or that vibrant pink burning bush hedge in fall. But you keep hearing that these plants aren’t native and that some of them can harm pollinators. Take the butterfly bush: A better name might be “butterfly killer bush,” because butterfly caterpillars cannot eat its leaves. That means this plant actually prevents local butterflies from producing the next generation. So what do you do when you already have a nicely established garden and don’t want to yank everything out? We spoke with two local native plant experts about how you can slowly transition your garden into a more pollinator-friendly habitat, one plant at a time. The process is simple: Choose native plants whenever you have a spot to fill or selectively replace a few of your most problematic non-native plants.

OUR GARDEN EXPERTS Anya Peters, owner of The Hedgerow Collective (hedgerowcollective.com), is a Penn State Extension Master Gardener who offers offers garden consultation, along with photography and equine massage.

Marcy Hostetler, owner of Color Garden Lancaster (colorgardenlancaster.com), is certiﬁ certiﬁed ed by Mt. Cuba Gardens as an Ecological Gardener and is a graduate of the Clean Water Partners’ Watershed Leadership Academy. She off offers ers native garden consultation, design, installation and stewardship.

PETERS’ PICKS

Peters says, “No space is too small to plant native.” A single pot of butterfly weed on your back porch might sustain a monarch butterfly. And, she notes, “there is a comparable native plant for almost any imported plant in your garden.” Here are five non-native plants Peters would encourage you to remove, along with her suggested natives to take their place. REPLACE BRADFORD PEAR WITH SERVICEBERRY.

Bradford pear “smells like ﬁsh,” Peters says, and it is invasive, crowding out native species while providing no food 20 | BALANCE | June 2026

for native insects or birds. Serviceberry, by contrast, offers beautiful white blooms that smell delightful and fruits that native wildlife love. It has a somewhat broader spread than Bradford pear but is roughly the same overall size and thrives in similar conditions. REPLACE BUTTERFLY BUSH WITH BUTTONBUSH.

As noted above, butterfly bush harms butterfly populations because caterpillars cannot eat its leaves. It also spreads aggressively, crowding out native plants. Buttonbush reaches a similar size and produces sweet-scented white flowers that resemble cotton balls. Better yet, it supports the full life cycle of native butterflies.
