The Elder tree (Sambucus nigra) has a long tradition in both herbal medicine and folklore. Its flowers are treasured for their gentle therapeutic properties, while its berries later in the year provide another valuable seasonal remedy. Whether infused as tea, transformed into cordial, or dried for winter use, Elderflowers offer a wonderful way to connect with the rhythms of the natural world in the early summer season. Few native trees possess as much folklore as the Elder. T
