Elderberry Seminar with Judith Nastally; Saturday, August 8

Help create a moment in the garden with me! Celebrating the ripe native elderberries through its history and uses.  Learn to identify the plant, and how to harvest it; where it grows and the best places to plant; and gain helpful cautionary information about wild harvesting and more!

During the event you will acquire firsthand knowledge of harvesting berries and using them make syrup for everyday use. We’ll then have a gluten and dairy free tasting of the syrup with goat cheese and crackers, ice cream, and soda!

Each person will also receive their own gift bag containing a recipe for the elderberry syrup, a sample of the elderberry syrup we’ll make, and a bottle of old fashioned, locally grown and made maple syrup from Alter’s Family Farms.

There will also be opportunities to purchase native elderberry shrubs and join in on an art project for your own garden.

There’s a limited number of tickets.  So get yours now!
