About Elderberry {Information, Recipes, DIY's} ~ Herbal Link Up

"The Elder, with its flat-topped masses of creamy-white, fragrant blossoms, followed by large drooping bunches of purplish-black, juicy berries, is a familiar object in English countryside and gardens. It has been said, with some truth, that our English summer is not here until the Elder is fully in flower, and that it ends when the berries are ripe."

~ A Modern Herbal by Mrs. M. Grieve

{Please note that this is a special edition link up we are running which is separate from our regular weekly link up, The Art of Home-Making Mondays.} Learning from other women about herbs is something that really interests me and here is the place where I would love for you to share!

For this month, please link up all of your articles (past & present) which pertain to the:

~ ELDERBERRY BUSH {SAMBUCUS NIGRA} ~

i.e., elderberries, elderflowers, root, bark, leaves, etc...

This can include herbal recipes and remedies, informative articles, how to grow elderberry plants or even cooking and preserving with elderberries and elderflowers. Our link up will be up until the end of this month in order to collect a massive archive of elderberry information.  {Please understand that all posts which do not pertain to the elder bush will be deleted in order to maintain the goal of this post.} Thank you for joining us!
