The Elderberry Book deepens appreciation for a plant that has played a crucial role for thousands of years. This inspiring, and educational resource guides you through the elderberry's history, how to cultivate and forage from the balcony to the backyard, and its preparation in traditional foods, medicines, wines, crafts, and tools.
Grow, harvest, and preserve elderberries for immune support, culinary delights, and natural wellness. Complete guide to cultivating this superfood berry, with recipes for syrups, wines, and medicinal preparations that support family health naturally.

- Harvesting and processing methods that preserve nutritional and medicinal value
