U. MACUNGIE TWP., Pa. – A longstanding, family-run business offering a wide array of annual and perennial flowers, vegetables, herbs and more has ended operations in Lehigh County.

Segan’s Bloomin’ Haus, offering high-quality plants and garden supplies, held its last day of business on Oct. 31 at 339 Grange Road in Upper Macungie Township, co-owner Kathy Segan told 69 News.

The greenhouse was established in 1975 by Segan and her husband, Jeffrey Segan, who have both retired.

The property, located across the street from Grange Park and the under-construction Upper Macungie Township Community Lifestyle Center, sold in December to Havenbrook Fields LLC, according to Lehigh County property records.

Also in December, a residential subdivision sketch plan for 339 Grange Road was submitted to the Upper Macungie Township Planning Commission.

Segan’s, which housed plants in a variety of indoor and outdoor areas, was a staple business for Lehigh Valley gardeners and plant lovers for 50 years.

Over the decades, it became a popular destination for generations of families looking to purchase Easter flowers, hanging baskets for Mother’s Day, fall mums and poinsettias around the holidays.

Knowledgeable staff members were quick to help customers with questions related to plant care.

“Led by Jeffrey and Kathy Segan, along with their daughter Laura, we combine over 40 years of experience with innovative practices to offer a diverse selection of hanging baskets, custom planters, and a wide array of gardening essentials,” a message on Segan’s website reads.

In the residential subdivision sketch plan that was presented to the township’s planning commission, the applicant, Anghan Krumil of HK Brothers Real Estate, is proposing to subdivide a 4.19-acre parcel into eight lots and construct eight single-family detached dwellings.

The property is located within the township’s R2 – Low Density Residential Zoning District.

At the planning commission’s Dec. 17 meeting, Scott Pasterski, a professional engineer with Keystone Consulting Engineers, represented the application.

Anderson Deutschman of HRG, Inc., a civil engineering and related services firm, stated that a substantial amount of waivers would be needed to make the plan feasible and asked that the planning commission offer comments on them, according to meeting minutes.

Pasterski introduced the waiver requests and noted that two points of access would create the most efficient flow but would require a waiver.

The plan includes a sidewalk connection across the Olde Towne Homeowners Association parcel to direct residents to the existing crosswalk at the roundabout intersection of the Grange Park entrance, Pasterki added.

In response to staff’s comments regarding the retention of a historic building on the property, Pasterski noted that the building would not be compatible with the neighborhood and stated that it would not be feasible to retain.

He also questioned whether the building has historic merit or is just old, according to the meeting minutes.

Meredith Keller, Upper Macungie’s director of community development, replied that the house has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.

In order to be determined eligible, the building must meet criteria beyond simply the age of the structure, she added.

Keller then noted that there are not many historic buildings in the township, and it is imperative to retain those that exist. She added that the residence could be rehabilitated.

Because the plan presented was a sketch plan, no action was taken by the planning commission.
