Thank you so much for this! 🤗 In these times as our sovereinty is being attacked, this is a blessing. My neighbor has an elderberry that hangs over into my yard. US law says what's on my side of the fence is my domain.The neighbor said it's ok too.☺️ I will give thanks for it's healing. 🙂 🇺🇸💜🇨🇮
I live in a city, and only found one Elder around here. It did not give any berries anymore in the last years, so I took a few branches off of it some 2 years ago. I only have a balcony, though I did put them in a big tub with soil. Last year it gave me a few flowers already, though all the berries were eaten by birds. (I did not mind, here in the city I think they may need them more than I do.) This year it is much bigger, and it is covered in flowers! I hope this year the birds will share with me. I will check your videos to learn more about it, I only learned how to make a Elderberry sirup. Thank you for teaching! You live in the most beautiful place! Much love from the Netherlands! 🤗💖
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Well, compared to it's mom it is still small. Though if you see it on my balcony, it is turning my balcony into a jungle already. I am blown away by how fast it grew so big. I am very happy to have it, if I never get a berry, at least I was able to enjoy it's beautiful flowers. And that it will feed the birds some, since it's mom doesn't give berries anymore. I am grateful that the 2 branches both got root. Hugs to you! Have a beautiful evening/day! 🤗
After watching this video I knew I wanted elder in my garden. I immediately went in my search and two beautiful plants found their home with me today. I’m so excited to work and play with these lovely plant friends. Thank you so much for these videos!
I love your pooches Terry, adorable, and such pals! Thank you for raising the point about the elder and it’s connection to sovereignty! Seems to me people have become so disconnected in some weird way from it! I was at the protest in London pounding the streets for our sovereignty and freedom, the right to say NO and so it goes on! where will it stop, how bad does it have to get? Anyway I mustn’t have one of my rants! I know what my sovereignty means to me it runs through my veins, truth, courage, integrity, justice freedom, and being an intuitive woman who can feel through the gut and her heart! 🌀🦋🌀x thank you!
THANKYOU for shareing 💚wonderful VIDEO like always .i always love when people remember to give thanks or ask permission of our plant friends . I must say your videos are so helpful & fun watching i learn things i didn't know or should know.💚 😄
My daughter gifted me with an Elder, just yesterday, in celebration of my 65th birthday. The Elder is also a native tree here in Canada ... I look forward to utilizing the wisdom of the tree next spring ... thank you Terri
Beautiful for telling names, in simple form, for me to understand. It seems as though I've been a bit blind and definitely, without being so, most my life, and I'm simply, well, hysterically, in complete LOVE, with the I Dea, of living happy in the garden the rest of forever, in love with the maker of all those flowers and birds, animals and !!! By Himself, He's always with us.
I have an Elder in my garden, I cut it down at first as I thought it was just a hedgerow weed. It has grown back beautifully these past two years and when the flowers bloomed I knew it was an Elder and very special. Thank you for making me aware just how special as a healing agent the Elder is.
My daughter and I found a young purple leaf elder coming out of the blackberry bushes down by the local pond. We cleaned up the space around it and placed rocks in a circle to keep people from crushing it. My daughter (age 6) has taken on the duty of being its guardian for the summer. She visits the tree and sings, talks, and reads to it while I tend to its needs. We look forward to watching it grow and to one day sit under its branches in the shade.
This video was so well done! Elder - what a powerhouse! I’m so glad you mentioned the fear of feminism wisdom. When I think of it, and all the harm it’s caused us and our ancestors, I get so sad, and then so mad! But your videos make me happy ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Terri I absolutely loved this video on the Elder. I learnt so much about this tree from you. There are a lot of Elders here in Essex, and they are so generous and give so much. I only picked the flowers and berries for the first time last year but sadly this year we have had a drought and I have never seen the Elders suffer and struggle so much to survive. It has been truly upsetting to see. So this year I am not collecting any berries and leaving what is here for the birds so that they may be nourished as the drought has seriously affected the birds too. I am so very interested in this word 'sovereignty'. Thank you for bringing it in. Such a special video. Thank you eternally.
That's terrible! I knew there had been some hot weather in the UK and a drought of sorts but hadn't realised it was so severe. I am sure the Elders will recover once the showers start again. xxx
I now look at the wild flowers, not weeds with a new reverence! The latest being herb Robert! I have blessed and given thanks to them for their healing, and what they give! ☘️🌳🌀
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I know intuitively that what I need is growing around me at the moment! Popping up magically, lemon balm to calm my angst, herb Robert for my sensitivity to electro magnetic stuff, and cleavers for detox support! I love them! 🌀
Thank you Terri for another wonderful video about a wonderful medicinal tree. I have an elder tree and I didn't know the leaves were useful too. I love when the fragrance of the flowers. Blessings.
I love the green door and window frames. We added a small elderberry sapling last year and it’s looking very happy in our urban yard. So glad to have it here
My garden is full of elder, and the smell at the moment is so very sweet, I have been drying flowers for a few weeks now and my house now smells like flowers ;), waiting for the berries ,and I will also take some leaves when pruning as they do grow out of control when you let them. Love your books, they cured my bowl problems in 10 days after beeing in pain for a few weeks. Learning something new every day, and you are never to old to learn
After 25 years, I'm going back to my love - herb gardening. I just started this Spring. Your videos are helping me along as they are reminding me of what I learned all those years ago. I'd forgotten about Elder's comprehensive healing and metaphysical properties... and we have one residing in our front yard! Thanks a bunch for your beautiful lessons. Blessings (from across the pond).
I planted one a couple of weeks ago and just bought another one this morning before your video came out! It truly is a magical plant and I can’t wait to watch them grow.
I planted a hawthorn tree as a memorial to my Mother when she died. I had to leave it behind when I sold my property. I have been wondering what I should plant here at my new home...Elder sounds perfect in so many ways! I enjoy your videos...thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about elders. We bought an old, old house in Denmark 2 years ago that is surrounded by at least 12 elder trees, some of them quite ancient. I knew we were lucky that they wanted us to live here, but you've helped me feel even more blessed!
I haven’t had elder flower or bark, but I do make tea and in winter I make elderberry syrup for my family. Thank you for all the information about the tree/bush. Bright blessings to you 🌛🌝🌜
We have an elder hedge developing in our yard. We have lived in our house for 5 years now, and we started the elders during our first summer there. I had only ever heard of using the berries, and occasionally the flowers, but it's good to know so much more about the plants as they are developing! There is so much to know and I don't feel like I will ever have time to absorb even a fraction of it! The elders are just now flowering out where I am, and I'm really looking forward to helping it grow and making use of the leaves/berries flowers! I'm always amazed to learn about the plants living in our yard and garden, because I have found VERY FEW plants that aren't useful. We have 2 kinds of plantain, comfrey, purple dead nettle, jewel weed, dandelions, chickweed, purslane, golden rod, lambs quarters, violets, cleavers... and I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty. And that's not even the kinds of flowers/herbs/plants that I'm intentionally planting.
Sovereignty is precious and we should all embrace our own. Nature will give us what we need. Many pharmaceuticals are reproduced, chemically, from the DNA of plants. It was already available to us at no cost! Nature is beautiful and plentiful. It will heal you if you give it a chance.
Another beautiful and informative video. Thank you. How sad that the church so persecuted people with wisdom about the natural world, and that we were taught to fear the "witches" and not the people who burned them. May the truth give the persecuted some comfort. Nature can heal us, if we turn to and connect with nature, and revive the lost wisdom of the Earth. Your work is helping with this most urgent cause. Peace be with you.
Ty Terri for this wonderful video! As always I thoroughly enjoyed all the information that you shared! Your videos are so very soothing to me and gives me a wonderful feeling. This may sound odd to people but it’s an indescribable feeling. I truly hope you understand! Ty sooo much
Thank Terri, Elder is a wonderful plant, I make elderberry syrup often and use as a tonic. I didn't know you could use the leaves! Very exciting to research this more.
Thank you, Terri. I had no idea of Elder being vilified by the church and also that the leaves and bark could be used. I am a devotee of elderberry syrup as an immune booster but as ever, you have widened the field for me. Thanks too for the visit to your peaceful healing garden.
Thankyou. As always I learn, gain inspiration and enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds from you and your lovely videos. I'm blessed to have hawthorn and elder lining the two roads that enter our village and the white flowers make for such a beautiful sight for weeks and weeks. Love and light sister 💚🌞
Lovely video. SOVEREIGNTY - supreme authority. We all need that over our own bodies. However, I never thought about that word being part of my "journey". It's such a "POLITICAL" word. Freedom ... so many are without it and all deserve it. I think children, women, and many, many other human beings have and are continually persecuted. The innocent suffer at the hands of the hateful. Why ... I do not understand and it's hurtful. We are all children of this earth! We are all bother and sister. Blessed be and happy thoughts to you. Kathy
I don't understand either. I think if the majority of us were left alone, we would all get on and be intrigued by our differences, but the tiny minority who seem to have all the say, just love creating divisions and harm
And the church tried to get monks into medicine, so ANY knowledge that wisewomen had, from collecting herbs, They tried to destroy, and call it Witchcraft
Hi Terry I also have an elder tree and I'm just learning about how special and sacred it is . Made some syrup last year with the berries and some herbs it was delicious. Hoping to make some elderflower champagne this year .Love your channel . Learn so much from you many thanks x
Thanks for the lovely video Terri 💓 You look younger!!!! We have a lot of Elder... making champagne 🍾🍾 and chest tonic... marmalade as well with the fruits.... But I didn't know till now the useful of the leaves.... Big hugs to you!!!
Thank you Terri for the excellant information. We are slowly making changes to our family land, about an acre, in Ohio. I felt complelled to plant 4 elderberry this spring ❤️ One already has small blossoms. We enjoy your videos very much 😊
Lovely video as always I love the smell of the Elderberry when it's flowering my neighbour has one and you can smell it first thing in a morning when you open the door . Thank you Blessings to you xx
In South America we have Elder Tree, is called "sauco". We can buy elderberry jam, specially made in Patagonia, and it is delicious! Lovely video Terri! the gardens look so wonderful! Virtual Hug from Argentina!!
On our walks around eastern Connecticut, USA we find Elderberry, will have to get some for our yard. We have made elderberry syrup from dried berries, tastes great.
Many many thanks 🙏 I was looking at the elders today on my walk, such a lovely tree, so giving. May I just say how much enjoyed lols music, sounded like a 12 string, probably wrong, all the changes, must have been the chords that pinged my heart. I don’t know what they are but certain combos, resonate with me. Anyway gorgeous video and content from you both, when I’m in a position to,do so, I shall buy some books. Blessings.
So glad to hear you like Lol's music. He plays a six string but overlaps different recordings - I think?? He will be delighted to hear the music has "pinged your heart"💚
My two Elderberry tree's, are doing fantastic, this is my 7th years growing them and my 4th year getting berries, this year both bushes are full, I love spring but I can't wait until August , to start harvest the berry's, last yesr I got a full pint jar of them:)
In my home country Germany, Elder is associated with the Germanic goddess Holda, - who was the inspiration of the brothers Grimm fairy tale "Frau Holle". And the german name for Elder, "Hollunder/ Holler" reminds us of the goddess. She's a sacred plant and if anyone wants to harvest the flowers or berries or cuts off a branch it is customary to kindly ask for permission first and also to give thanks after. I would love to grow an elder tree in my garden but have not managed to find one yet in my local garden centres . Only the ornamental dark variety. -Not sure if that variety would have the same medicinal or metaphysical properties. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos!
Hi Eva! I'm not sure about the ornamental ones. We have a couple of tree companies here in Ireland who grow "slips" little saplings and there may be similar companies in Germany.
A friend of mine just found out by a visit to an herbalist that she has several healing plants on her property which she is cooking to help with her cancer! So many years and she didn't know....I told her about your website too since she is connecting in a big way. Church People and Elder - odd for them to say those things when Elder is used in healing and God created/gave us these plants for healing. (I like the way your puppies are always together - cute!) Thankyou for sharing! (Canada)
How lovely, elder is one of my go to herbs in summer because I love elderflower wine. I didn't know about the leaves and bark. I love your gratitude ritual, I do this to the universe most mornings luv n light x
Yes, I have Elders growing in North East Pennsylvania, USA. They didn't flower yet. I usually pick the flowers for making tea and syrups for respiratory use in winter.
You made me think of my Irish heritage from my mothers side so I put up the O'Connor coat of arms for my profile pic. I wonder what it means. I need to find some Elderberry to plant by the pond in back here in Minnesota. I was taking elderberry supplements for the immune system earlier with the Wuflu going around.
It's a great plant. I've managed to grow one from a cutting. It's just 11 inch (30 cm) but it's growing with many little twigs 🤗🌱🌱🌱looking forward to see it getting bigger. Your garden is beautiful. 💚
I simply love your videos! They’re always so beautiful and so informative!!! I also love the color of your green paint you have on the trim of your cottage ❤️
Always love your calming videos and seeing a little of your homeland. We must have it here in Tasmania Terry as someone sells elderflower soft drink I think it’s a small business or started that way. There used to be many more hedgerows here in the old days some are trying to restart them on edge of land running along the roads which is lovely to see when driving.
Discovered you today! Have spent my day watching/listening to lots of your videos whilst I've been pottering around the house today. So enjoyable, educational and enlightening! I live in southern Australia, so a very different part of the world but I long to live a simpler life, connected to mother earth.
Bright blessings Terri and another delightful video seeing your beautiful natural garden! Thank you for all you teach your followers. I have learnt so much about nature's wonders since subscribing to you, and am enjoying every moment. .Enjoy the lovely sunshine:)
Elderflowers and elderberries are wonderful in teas, jams, wine, and so many other things. Just be careful not to eat too many of them raw. That wouldn't be a good thing. I have elderflower and citrus tea. The mustard in my little garden is going crazy! I love the little yellow flowers. Thank you Terri!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden LOL! I'll be careful not to do that. I'm leaving most of them go to seed for the birds. I may collect a few here and there for next year, but they are proliferous when it comes to self-seeding. I never tried putting the seeds in a spread and making my own mustard. I should try that.
LOVELY!! It's not nearly close enough. Not even close enough to forage on someone else's property at current gas prices that are going up. So we will see what I can find or propogate!
Thank you for the lovely inspiring video. Here in North America our native Elder is Sambucus canadensis. It is smaller than your native Sambucus nigra, never attaining tree height, but it has the same wonderful properties.
Hello, greetings from the Czech Republic. Thank you for the video about elder. We make wine and syrup from the berries. It is so strong! I like this bush, it is a guardian and a helper. It is good to keep a little twig, no negative energy or spells can affect you.
That's right Jana - Elder protects us from negative energies which is why it makes sense to put them in your hedgerow and then they protect your boundaries!
Lovely video. I began a love affair with an old elder growing in my garden. I love so much to stand underneath thefull canopy, its growth form is so peculiar. Its magic. I remember my father questioning the life of the tree one day as its branches are so easyily broken, I giggled and said oh no, you have her all wrong. She's full of life, she's just different from other trees. ❤
I Appreciate you telling us, that we can literally stick elder branches in the ground and it will grow, because I know where its growing in the wild, but I would much prefer to have some growing in my yard
I love Elder! I fell in love with Elderberry after listening to many stories told by a German ethnobotanist and herbalist called Wolf-Dieter Storl. Now I can't imagine living in a place without Elderberry. When I moved to Vienna, Austria, I was disappointed that there was no Elderberry in the garden of the place I am renting. But, as if my wish was heard, the neighbouring garden has a beautiful Elderberry and the branches mainly bend over into my garden! What a blessing. When is the best time to cut a branch for planting? I'd like a plant to grow in my garden as well. Any advice on transplanting Elder? Thanks for your videos.
We have Elder here in Australia but it is not a species that can be used so much medicinially as it is poisonous. I have a sml tree that I'm going to plant and embrace the metaphysical properties as it is a tree of protection and also it being a great bird attracting tree that can also withstand strong winds. 🌳✨💚
Hello and greeting from wintery Tasmania. Watching your videos with admiration and so wish I will be able to be in ireland again next year....thankyou and keep the wonderful info coming to us.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge once again. I am lucky enough to know where two elderberry trees are near to my home. I use the berries fresh or frozen to make Elderberry Rob . It helps speed up recovery from coughs colds and sore throats and tastes delicious.
Thank you so much for this! 🤗 In these times as our sovereinty is being attacked, this is a blessing. My neighbor has an elderberry that hangs over into my yard. US law says what's on my side of the fence is my domain.The neighbor said it's ok too.☺️ I will give thanks for it's healing. 🙂

Hi Terry I also have an elder tree and I'm just learning about how special and sacred it is . Made some syrup last year with the berries and some herbs it was delicious. Hoping to make some elderflower champagne this year .Love your channel . Learn so much from you many thanks x
Thanks for the lovely video Terri 💓
You look younger!!!!
We have a lot of Elder... making champagne 🍾🍾 and chest tonic... marmalade as well with the fruits....
But I didn't know till now the useful of the leaves....
Big hugs to you!!!
Must have been the light!😂💚
Thank you Terri for the excellant information. We are slowly making changes to our family land, about an acre, in Ohio. I felt complelled to plant 4 elderberry this spring ❤️ One already has small blossoms. We enjoy your videos very much 😊
Wonderful news!
Yes 😀 I am drawing a “to scale” map as best I can, to help assess the land, plan the space, and honor our Mother Earth. 🌎🌍🌏
Where did you source the elderberry? Did you buy them or dig them from the woods?
Lovely video as always I love the smell of the Elderberry when it's flowering my neighbour has one and you can smell it first thing in a morning when you open the door . Thank you Blessings to you xx
Elder is one of my favorites!
In South America we have Elder Tree, is called "sauco". We can buy elderberry jam, specially made in Patagonia, and it is delicious! Lovely video Terri! the gardens look so wonderful! Virtual Hug from Argentina!!
Big hug to you too
I have a sambuca elder called black lace dark brown foliage and delicate pink flowers.Thankyou Terri.xxxxxx🐝
On our walks around eastern Connecticut, USA we find Elderberry, will have to get some for our yard. We have made elderberry syrup from dried berries, tastes great.
Many many thanks 🙏 I was looking at the elders today on my walk, such a lovely tree, so giving. May I just say how much enjoyed lols music, sounded like a 12 string, probably wrong, all the changes, must have been the chords that pinged my heart. I don’t know what they are but certain combos, resonate with me.
Anyway gorgeous video and content from you both, when I’m in a position to,do so, I shall buy some books. Blessings.
So glad to hear you like Lol's music. He plays a six string but overlaps different recordings - I think?? He will be delighted to hear the music has "pinged your heart"💚
My two Elderberry tree's, are doing fantastic, this is my 7th years growing them and my 4th year getting berries, this year both bushes are full, I love spring but I can't wait until August , to start harvest the berry's, last yesr I got a full pint jar of them:)
What do you do with the berries? I planted elder in my backyard, and would like to preserve or use berries somehow. Thank you.
In my home country Germany, Elder is associated with the Germanic goddess Holda, - who was the inspiration of the brothers Grimm fairy tale "Frau Holle". And the german name for Elder, "Hollunder/ Holler" reminds us of the goddess. She's a sacred plant and if anyone wants to harvest the flowers or berries or cuts off a branch it is customary to kindly ask for permission first and also to give thanks after. I would love to grow an elder tree in my garden but have not managed to find one yet in my local garden centres . Only the ornamental dark variety. -Not sure if that variety would have the same medicinal or metaphysical properties. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos!
Hi Eva! I'm not sure about the ornamental ones. We have a couple of tree companies here in Ireland who grow "slips" little saplings and there may be similar companies in Germany.
A friend of mine just found out by a visit to an herbalist that she has several healing plants on her property which she is cooking to help with her cancer! So many years and she didn't know....I told her about your website too since she is connecting in a big way. Church People and Elder - odd for them to say those things when Elder is used in healing and God created/gave us these plants for healing. (I like the way your puppies are always together - cute!) Thankyou for sharing! (Canada)
on youtube find video The Truth About Cancer by Ty Bollinger
Another wonderful video Terri. Thank you. I have a beautiful pink elder in my garden. I think elderflower cordial is the most refreshing drink I know.
Can you make more videos about the medicine of Elderberry? Love your videos so more learning, this video brought tears to my eyes 🌈
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How lovely, elder is one of my go to herbs in summer because I love elderflower wine. I didn't know about the leaves and bark. I love your gratitude ritual, I do this to the universe most mornings luv n light x
Yes, I have Elders growing in North East Pennsylvania, USA. They didn't flower yet. I usually pick the flowers for making tea and syrups for respiratory use in winter.
I simply adore this channel. Thank you so much. Can you do a video on making essences - i have a book but id love to see ur methodology 🍃✌️❣️
You made me think of my Irish heritage from my mothers side so I put up the O'Connor coat of arms for my profile pic. I wonder what it means. I need to find some Elderberry to plant by the pond in back here in Minnesota. I was taking elderberry supplements for the immune system earlier with the Wuflu going around.
It's a great plant. I've managed to grow one from a cutting. It's just 11 inch (30 cm) but it's growing with many little twigs 🤗🌱🌱🌱looking forward to see it getting bigger. Your garden is beautiful. 💚
Good luck with your Elder. Thank you!
We've got several elderberry trees in our yard that are now blooming. Such an uplifting scent! Looking forward to a good harvest this year.
I simply love your videos! They’re always so beautiful and so informative!!! I also love the color of your green paint you have on the trim of your cottage ❤️
Thanks Debbie!
I absolutely love listening to your teachings. Im in Alabama USA and I've already started on growing medicine thank you
That's great Anita - good luck with your garden.
Elder plant is one of my favorite pants. I collect flowers from the mountins. I never knew you coukd start plants so easy from the branches.
Always love your calming videos and seeing a little of your homeland. We must have it here in Tasmania Terry as someone sells elderflower soft drink I think it’s a small business or started that way. There used to be many more hedgerows here in the old days some are trying to restart them on edge of land running along the roads which is lovely to see when driving.
I hope they take off
Discovered you today! Have spent my day watching/listening to lots of your videos whilst I've been pottering around the house today. So enjoyable, educational and enlightening! I live in southern Australia, so a very different part of the world but I long to live a simpler life, connected to mother earth.
Hello Karen, thanks for watching. If you long to live a simpler life you can do it! Start right now! xx
Bright blessings Terri and another delightful video seeing your beautiful natural garden! Thank you for all you teach your followers. I have learnt so much about nature's wonders since subscribing to you, and am enjoying every moment. .Enjoy the lovely sunshine:)
Delighted to hear from you Luna Gaia
I have wild elderberry s on my land and we use it all year round. Thank You for sharing. Love and healing blessings to Y'all
It’s a fantastical tree!
Garden is looking lovely and wild.
Thank you!
Elderflowers and elderberries are wonderful in teas, jams, wine, and so many other things. Just be careful not to eat too many of them raw. That wouldn't be a good thing. I have elderflower and citrus tea. The mustard in my little garden is going crazy! I love the little yellow flowers. Thank you Terri!
Don't put the mustard in your tea😅💚
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden LOL! I'll be careful not to do that. I'm leaving most of them go to seed for the birds. I may collect a few here and there for next year, but they are proliferous when it comes to self-seeding. I never tried putting the seeds in a spread and making my own mustard. I should try that.
LOVELY!! It's not nearly close enough. Not even close enough to forage on someone else's property at current gas prices that are going up.
So we will see what I can find or propogate!
There is tons of elder growing here in new Orleans. All over the city really.
It's a magical city!
My elder is in a pot but now I know so much more! Thank you
Thank you for the lovely inspiring video. Here in North America our native Elder is Sambucus canadensis. It is smaller than your native Sambucus nigra, never attaining tree height, but it has the same wonderful properties.
Thanks Joan for mentioning your native Elder for any watchers in north America
How amazing indeed!
Thank you !!!
Hello, greetings from the Czech Republic. Thank you for the video about elder. We make wine and syrup from the berries. It is so strong! I like this bush, it is a guardian and a helper. It is good to keep a little twig, no negative energy or spells can affect you.
That's right Jana - Elder protects us from negative energies which is why it makes sense to put them in your hedgerow and then they protect your boundaries!
Beautiful as always 🌏🌱🙏💞
Thank you x
Lovely video. I began a love affair with an old elder growing in my garden. I love so much to stand underneath thefull canopy, its growth form is so peculiar. Its magic. I remember my father questioning the life of the tree one day as its branches are so easyily broken, I giggled and said oh no, you have her all wrong. She's full of life, she's just different from other trees. ❤
Lovely story
Thankyou for the visit and chat Terri blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada 🐝
Blessings Beverley
I Appreciate you telling us, that we can literally stick elder branches in the ground and it will grow, because I know where its growing in the wild, but I would much prefer to have some growing in my yard
Do it in Spring time when the buds are appearing
thankyou so much i will be purchasing a book of yours on payday. You are just wonderful. x
Thank you!
I love Elder! I fell in love with Elderberry after listening to many stories told by a German ethnobotanist and herbalist called Wolf-Dieter Storl. Now I can't imagine living in a place without Elderberry. When I moved to Vienna, Austria, I was disappointed that there was no Elderberry in the garden of the place I am renting. But, as if my wish was heard, the neighbouring garden has a beautiful Elderberry and the branches mainly bend over into my garden! What a blessing. When is the best time to cut a branch for planting? I'd like a plant to grow in my garden as well. Any advice on transplanting Elder? Thanks for your videos.
Hi SoniaRose, early Spring is best just as the buds are forming.
I always talk to the plants and say thanks This is a very nice video Thank you Danu Love you and your heart.
Thank you for talking to your plants x
Thank you again for a very informative video,we have elder here in northern Ontario Canada just starting to flower🥰
Hello from Thunder Bay, Ontario!
We have Elder here in Australia but it is not a species that can be used so much medicinially as it is poisonous. I have a sml tree that I'm going to plant and embrace the metaphysical properties as it is a tree of protection and also it being a great bird attracting tree that can also withstand strong winds.
🌳✨💚
Do embrace the metaphysical qualities, they too can be very healing.
Hello and greeting from wintery Tasmania. Watching your videos with admiration and so wish I will be able to be in ireland again next year....thankyou and keep the wonderful info coming to us.
I hope so for you.
I have been drinking elder berry tea this winter. Love the flavor, especially mixed with rose hips. 👍🇨🇦😎🫐
Mmmm! sounds delicious!
Beautiful video Terri . Thank you xx💕 blessings xx
Watching your videos here in the US, hoping to visit your beautiful homeland some day!
Thanks for all the knowledge, Terri 🌼
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge once again. I am lucky enough to know where two elderberry trees are near to my home. I use the berries fresh or frozen to make Elderberry Rob . It helps speed up recovery from coughs colds and sore throats and tastes delicious.
beautfiul and informative as always thanks Terri
I love elder! Was planning on heading to the woods in a day or two and harvest some. Maybe even plant one in the yard!
Great video and wonderful music Lol. Thanks Terri, love learning . Blessings to all folks 🌾
Blessings to you too Pamela
